The study of curvature effects on crystal structures and defect dynamics offers pivotal insights into how geometric constraints influence material properties at the micro‐ and nanoscale. Curved ...

After two centuries of failed attempts, scientists have finally grown dolomite in the lab, cracking a long-standing ...

Researchers at Università Cattolica, Brescia campus, have discovered that the transition from insulating to conductive behavior in certain materials is driven by topological defects in the structure.

Spread the loveThe world of mineralogy has long been fascinated by dolomite, a mineral composed of calcium and magnesium carbonate, which has puzzled scientists for over two centuries. The “dolomite ...

Quantum engineers have spent years trying to tame the fragility of qubits, only to be thwarted by the tiniest imperfections in the materials they use. Now a new line of research flips that problem on ...

Materials that emit and manipulate light are at the heart of technologies ranging from solar energy to advanced imaging ...

New review outlines a design framework for solid oxide electrochemical cells, linking crystal structure and defect chemistry ...

Researchers at Rice University have identified why a widely studied organic semiconductor behaves unpredictably ...

Controlling the transport properties through a zeolite and the rates of diffusion and size of molecules that can be stored or transported are key in developing and optimizing zeolites for various ...

Researchers from Fuzhou University have announced a significant breakthrough in energy storage technology, developing a novel dual-crystal-phase manganese dioxide (MnO₂) cathode that dramatically ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The petrochemical industry relies on separating chemicals that differ by just fractions of a nanometer in size. Methanol must be purified from similarly-sized molecules in the ...
