When metal oxide nanoparticles are manufactured by reaction of gases at high temperature, they can form aggregates with complex geometric shapes.
Researchers at the University of Michigan discovered a method for direct conversion, at room temperature, of copper selenide to copper silver
Corrosive environments, such as those found inside nuclear power plants and other sites, can cause stainless steel, brass, or other metallic alloys
After a material is excited, the first electronic motions are fundamental processes that enable transport of energy and information. Snapshots of
A series of tabletop laser systems are being developed to bridge the materials characterization gap between conventional laser-based systems and
Junctions of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors could enable next-generation photovoltaics, lighting, and electronics. For example, current
A new ultra-thin semiconducting material (tungsten disulfide or WS2) consists of three atomic layers in an “atomic sandwich”
In this simplified architecture, sunlight passes through the top layer (metal oxide) and creates electron-hole pairs in the silicon. The holes are
