Adatoms are single atoms that get adsorbed onto the surface of a solid material and are known to hop randomly from one spot to another. In a recent study published in Nature Communications, a group of scientists from Germany ...
Diamond is one of the most prized materials in advanced technologies due to its unmatched hardness, ability to conduct heat and capacity to host quantum-friendly defects. The same qualities that make diamond useful also make ...
Laser frequency combs are light sources that produce evenly spaced, sharp lines across the spectrum, resembling the teeth of a comb. They serve as precise rulers for measuring time and frequency, and have become essential ...
Imagine a Slushee composed of ammonia and water encased in a hard shell of water ice. Now picture these ice-encrusted slushballs, dubbed "mushballs," raining down like hailstones during a thunderstorm, illuminated by intense ...
Propane dehydrogenation (PDH) reaction is a highly endothermic reaction, typically requiring temperatures above 600掳C in conventional thermo-catalysis. However, elevated temperatures lead to significant energy consumption, ...
In the 1970s, NASA's Voyager probes passed through Jupiter's system and snapped pictures of its largest moons, also known as the Galilean moons. These pictures and the data they gathered offered the first hints that a global ...
Researchers from Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) and the University of Montpellier have successfully synthesized wafer-scale hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) exhibiting an AA-stacking configuration, a crystal ...
Hydrothermal alteration is a complex geological process that can later serve as an indicator of gold deposits for mineral explorers. The process sees hot and metal-rich fluids interact with surrounding rocks, causing chemical ...
A research team has successfully developed a new synthesis technology for 2D semiconductors. This technique enables the direct growth of wafer-scale single-crystal 2D semiconductors on various substrates. The research is ...
Research Fellow Dr. Babak Bakhit has encountered one of his most challenging projects to date鈥攃ontributing to the European Space Agency's (ESA) JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) mission.
