BES Highlights

Inorganic precursors chosen based on new criteria led to higher phase purity for 32 out of 35 target materials synthesized in a robotic laboratory.

Strange metals defy the 60-year-old understanding of electric current as a flow of discrete charges.

Heavy ligands, like polyoxometalates, open a new frontier in the chemistry of actinide elements.

Experiments show that applied voltage can dramatically alter the magnetic properties of quantum materials.

Ultrafast X-ray scattering and advanced numerical simulations decode distinct molecular structures and their equilibration dynamics in metal-metal complexes.

Researchers combine solar energy, electrochemistry, and thermal catalysis to remove the need for fossil fuel-driven chemical conversions.

A new quantum algorithm speeds up simulations of coupled oscillators dynamics.

Theorists propose a new approach to electroluminescent cooling that works like inverted solar photovoltaic cells.

Ultrafast electron imaging captures never-before-seen nuclear motions in hydrocarbon molecules excited by light.

Ultrafast X-ray experiments provide direct evidence that interaction of light with a hydrocarbon molecule produces strained molecular rings.
