As their name suggests, nanocrystals are tiny particles. These particles are crystalline elements with at least one dimension smaller than 1,000 nanometres, where a nanometre is one thousand-millionth ...

“This discovery tells us that room-temperature superconductivity is not ruled out by fundamental constants ,” University of ...

A Cornell-led collaboration devised a new method for designing metals and alloys that can withstand extreme impacts: ...

The mantis shrimp's club uses a built-in vibration shield that filters out damaging shock waves to enable it to strike with ...

Recently, a research team found a way to design a class of homochiral organometallic nanosheets that exhibit room-temperature ...

added Argonne physicist Haidan Wen. Believing that a specific type of vibration in the crystal -- called the TO1 phonon -- triggers this interfacial superconductivity, the team set out to find ...

This is due to an enhanced electron–phonon interaction resulting from the photothermal effect, which reduces carrier concentration and mobility. Density functional theory (DFT) theory ...
