Novel Method for Controlling Particle Motion on Two-Dimensional Materials

Researchers from MIT and other institutions have discovered a new phenomenon of the behavior of plasmons (a kind of quasiparticle) as they move accross tiny ribbons of two-dimensional materials, such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD). These materials possess a hexagonal structure similar to chicken wire.

Manchester University Scientists Observe Self-Rotating Graphene

The question at the University of Manchester regarding interaction in two-dimensional (2D) materials is whether self-rotation occurs in heterostructures if various crystals are clubbed together, such as graphene on boron nitride. It was observed that perfect stacking between boron nitride and graphene occurs, and when the heterostructural layers are disturbed, the crystals undergo self-rotation and retain the ideal configuration. This effect was known at the nanoscale, but it was not seen on larger scales until the recent findings, published in Nature Communications.

Innovative Method for Making Uniform, Highly Active Gold Nanoparticle Catalysts for Fuel Cells

The successful future of fuel cells relies on improving the performance of the catalysts they use. Gold nanoparticles have been cited as an ideal solution, but creating a uniform, useful catalyst has proven elusive. However, a team of researchers at Kyushu University's International Institute for Carbon-Neutral Energy Research (I2CNER) devised a method for using a new type of catalyst support.
