The crucial role of functional motifs in material research unveiled
Mar 26, 2022 (Nanowerk News) The traditional trial-and-error method in material research cannot meet the growing demand of various high-performance materials, and developing effective paradigm of material science is extremely urgent. In a study published in National Science Review ("Material research from the viewpoint of functional motifs"), the research group...
Scientists uncover surprising new clues to exotic superconductors’ superpowers
Mar 26, 2022 (Nanowerk News) A research team has uncovered new clues into the exotic behavior of unconventional superconductors – devices that efficiently carry electrical current with zero resistance in ways that defy our previous understanding of physics. “The hope is that our work may lead to a better understanding...

Large moons may be a clue for habitable planets
Mar 26, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Earth's moon is vitally important in making Earth the planet we know today: the moon controls the length of the day and ocean tides, which affect the biological cycles of lifeforms on our planet. The moon also contributes to Earth's climate by stabilising Earth's spin...

Digital twin accelerates development of better biofibres
Mar 26, 2022 (Nanowerk News) A team of scientists from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm and DESY has developed a so-called digital twin for X-ray experiments and used it to study the production process of novel biofibres. The digital twin allows the experimental data to be interpreted...
How deep learning can assist focused ion beam nanofabrication
Mar 26, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Focused Ion-Beam (FIB) milling is a nanoscale, direct-write fabrication technique where the removal of of material from a target surface is induced by a focused ion beam. It is a popular and versatile approach for creating structures on scales of about 10-100 nm, in particular...
