Scientists have created a new family of materials whose behavior can be tuned by changing their metallic "recipe"—opening new possibilities for uses including gas storage and sensing. Subscribe to our ...

Many material properties depend on how electrons are arranged inside a material. Their distribution determines, for example, whether a material conducts electricity or displays magnetic behavior.

"Photocatalytic materials are significant for their unique capability to harness light energy to drive chemical reactions," N'Gom said. "This collaborative work aims to show that structured light can ...

Conventional clustering techniques often focus on basic features like crystal structure and elemental composition, neglecting target properties such as band gaps and dielectric constants. A new study ...
