Solid-state batteries could be safer and more energy-dense than today’s lithium-ion technology, but finding materials that allow ions to move quickly through solid electrolytes has been difficult.

A team of researchers at the Technical University of Munich and ́Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne has developed an innovative computational approach combining machine learning and Raman ...

By influencing how phonons travel through a crystal lattice, an electric field can begin shaping both the speed and direction of heat transport.

Barite (BaSO₄) is a mineral of both industrial and environmental relevance whose ability to form solid solutions provides significant insights into crystal growth dynamics and trace-element ...

To study the interactions between electrons in a material, physicists have come up with a number of tricks over the years. These interactions are interesting, amongst other things, because they lead ...
