A team of physicists and chemists has produced the first porous graphene ribbons in which specific carbon atoms in the crystal lattice are replaced with nitrogen atoms. These ribbons have ...

For centuries, people believed ice was slippery because pressure and friction melted a thin film of water. But new research from Saarland University reveals that this long-standing explanation is ...

Scientists used high-performance TEM to image the process of gold atoms assembling into nanocrystals. It was discovered that the atoms undergo a spontaneous transition between disordered and ...

This picture shows the crystal structure of the superconducting film in this study. The Cooper pairs are shown as balls with paired opposite arrows in it. The Cooper pairing strength is stronger at ...

Led by Martin Müser, PhD, a materials simulation professor at Saarland University, the team of physicists discovered that ...

Owing to the many different ways atoms can be arranged within the material, ice can exist in many more forms than what’s known as ice I, the type we’re all familiar with. Scientists have actually ...

U.S. Army and researchers at New York University achieved a new high-powered laser weapon breakthrough. Lasers and other laser technologies, such as spotters, and rangefinders, are already used in ...

Quantum dots are a kind of artificial atom: just a few nanometers in size and made of semiconductor materials, they can emit light of a specific color or even single photons, which is important for ...
