Magnetic skyrmions are stable magnetic objects that are a few nanometers to microns in size with an atom-sized core surrounded by an axially

Researchers developed a simple and inexpensive new process for making single crystalline, wafer-size, flexible, transparent, and conductive gold

Previous investigations of colloids energized by magnetic fields revealed that they are a form of “active matter”—assemblies of

Cage-like metallic compounds called clathrates have the potential to be used as thermoelectric materials for harvesting waste heat and turning it

Catalysts—specialized chemicals that make catalytic converters function and control a host of chemical processes in industry—are used

Researchers developed a new class of porous materials that have the potential to combine the best properties of inorganic solids and flexible,
