A new process that lets scientists chemically cut apart and stitch together nanoscopic layers of two-dimensional materials - like a tailor altering a suit - could be just the tool for designing the technology of a sustainable energy future.
2D monolayer nanosheets composed of layered perovskite come with several attractive properties. But, it has been challenging to build them with tunable bandgaps in the visible region with no addition of oxygen defects.
PI’s new air-bearing-based high-speed automated photonics alignment system provides maintenance-free, 24/7 performance, and high throughput.
Auburn, MA – PI, a leading provider of precision motion contr...
This study is led by Prof. Dong Su (Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences). Li ion imaging by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is the “holy grail” in the study of Li ion battery (LIB) materials.
Each year, an estimated two trillion dollars is lost globally due to counterfeit products ranging from jewelry to medicine. As current security labels and product authentication methods are rapidly becoming obsolete or easy to hack, there is a rising urgency for more secure anti- counterfeiting labels.
Light-driven chemical reactions have usually been conducted with large amounts of solvents that are often toxic.
What is a peptide, and how is it different than a protein? Just like a protein, a peptide also has a chain of natural amino acids, but it is much shorter, say 10-30 units, compared to those in proteins, which could be hundreds and thousands of units long.
The DNA of prokaryotes — single-cell organisms, for example bacteria — is known to contain sequences that are derived from DNA fragments of viruses that infected the prokaryote earlier. These sequences,...
To analyze particles in motion, experimentalists have been following a 100-year-old theory that asserts that the microscopic movement of a particle is identified by random collisions with molecules of the adjoining medium, irrespective of the macroscopic forces that influence that motion.
Unlike usual anticipations that the carbon sheet is equally chemically inert as the bulk graphite from which it is extracted, it is now discovered that graphene can become a strong catalyst.
A recent study published in the journal Nature Communications focuses on how protons move in the confined water films between MXene layers, which enables charge transportation. The findings from this study could help to improve the performance of MXenes as energy storage materials.
