Study on Porous Polymers Demonstrates How Chemistry Plays Key Role in Materials Science

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a class of porous polymers that enable the atomically precise incorporation of organic units into periodic structures, creating highly ordered ð-columnar arrays and one-dimensional open channels. One significant structural feature is that they can be predesigned at both primary and high-order structure levels. COFs have emerged as a platform for materials design and functional explorations. However, their low stability has been impeded any practical implementations.

Berkeley Lab Studies Individual Defects in Hexagonal Boron Nitride with Scanning Tunneling Microscopy

Nanoscale defects are enormously important in shaping the electrical, optical, and mechanical properties of a material. For example, a defect may donate charge or scatter electrons moving from one point to another. However, observing individual defects in bulk insulators, a ubiquitous and essential component to almost all devices, has remained elusive: it’s far easier to image the detailed electrical structure of conductors than insulators.
