To understand the important interfaces in a solar cell connected to a water-splitting catalyst, researchers from Missouri University of Science
Corrosive environments, such as those found inside nuclear power plants and other sites, can cause stainless steel, brass, or other metallic alloys
A series of tabletop laser systems are being developed to bridge the materials characterization gap between conventional laser-based systems and
In the natural world, many of the structural materials (wood, shells, bones, etc.) are hybrid materials made up of simple constituents that are
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
After a material is excited, the first electronic motions are fundamental processes that enable transport of energy and information. Snapshots of
When sunlight is absorbed in a solar cell, negatively charged electrons and positively charged holes are created which in turn drive electrical
Electrons have two fundamental properties, charge and spin, generating such phenomena as electricity, magnetism, thermal conductivity, and
Some liquid metals have been observed to transform uniform solid alloys into complex structures–-a process that is not well understood. In
