Oct 04, 2021 (Nanowerk News) Most of our daily commodities, such as plastics, alloys and processed foods, are provided as solids, and they are often processed by a controlled cooling process from a liquid mixture to a solid. Liquid crystals, solutions, polymers, and biomaterials form a wide variety of structural...

Home > Press > A kagome lattice superconductor reveals a “cascade” of quantum electron states: In a rare non-magnetic kagome material, a topological metal cools into a superconductor through a sequence of novel charge density wavesAbstract:Researchers have discovered a complex landscape of electronic states that can co-exist on a kagome...

Oct 01, 2021 (Nanowerk News) Since the discovery of piezoelectric materials that generate electricity from mechanical motion, there has been an interest to develop energy generators to develop self-sufficient electronics. However, many of these materials have poor dielectric properties and do not retain their polarized charge. Now researchers develop a...

Home > Press > Unprecedented view of a single catalyst nanoparticle at work: X-rays reveal compositional changes on active surface under reaction conditionsX-ray analysis provided a complete 3D image of an individual catalyst nanoparticle nd revealed changes in its surface tension and surface chemical composition during different modes of operation. ...

Oct 01, 2021 (Nanowerk News) A DESY-led research team has been using high-intensity X-rays to observe a single catalyst nanoparticle at work. The experiment has revealed for the first time how the chemical composition of the surface of an individual nanoparticle changes under reaction conditions, making it more active. The...
