Penn State scientists discovered seven new ceramics by simply removing oxygen—opening a path to materials once beyond reach. Sometimes, less truly is more. By removing oxygen during the synthesis ...

Superconductive materials can conduct electricity with no resistance, but typically only at very low temperatures. Realizing ...

A fast and accurate surrogate model screens over 10,000 possible metal-oxide supports for a platinum nanocatalyst to prevent sintering under high temperatures.

For over 300 years, the closely-guarded secrets of the Ottoman Empire's luminous tilework was lost, but its rediscovery has revived a key part of Turkey’s cultural heritage.

Organic solar cells have attracted much attention due to their light weight, flexibility and suitability for wearable applications. However, long-term device stability remains an obstacle to the full ...

2H-NbO2, created by ion extraction from LiNbO2, combines 2D flexibility with correlated states like superconductivity, enabling future quantum devices. However, despite significant progress in 2D ...

2H-NbO₂—a novel van der Waals oxide synthesized by researchers from Japan—exhibits strongly correlated electronic properties with two-dimensional flexibility. By chemically extracting lithium ions ...

This is the shocking moment a metal sheet blown from a roof struck motorcycle riders at a junction. Footage shows riders in raincoats waiting at a red light amid heavy rainfall in Guangxi, China.

Abstract: In this article, the failure mechanism and improved designs of silicon carbide (SiC) metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) under high dV/dt switching condition were ...

Scientists at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Netherlands have fabricated a front-back contact silicon heterojunction (FBC-SHJ) solar cell with a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) ...

Researchers in China have sought to increase the efficiency of heterojunction solar cell through a buffer layer made of indium tin oxide. This innovation reportedly resulted in a 0.1% efficiency ...
