Controlling the transport properties through a zeolite and the rates of diffusion and size of molecules that can be stored or transported are key in developing and optimizing zeolites for various ...

Two-dimensional (2D) materials promise revolutionary advances in electronics and photonics, but many of the most interesting ...

Atomic-scale defects in 2D materials show terahertz spin splitting, pointing to robust spin qubits and single-photon emitters at higher temperatures.

Rare-earth magnets are essential for electric motors in vehicles, drones, and trains, forming the backbone of modern, ...

Researchers visualized how gold nanocrystals coalesce at the atomic level, uncovering size, defect, and approach-dependent pathways that shape crystal structure. (Nanowerk News) Crystallization, a ...

An international research team has pioneered a new technique to identify and characterize atomic-scale defects in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), a two-dimensional (2D) material often dubbed 'white ...

A new study suggests that crystal defects in diamond may hold the key to scalable quantum interconnects. Connecting large numbers of quantum bits (qubits) into a working technology remains one of the ...

The information is written in optically active atomic defects by a focused ion beam (left) and read using the cathodoluminescence or photoluminescence (right). With the development of the internet, ...

Diamonds are famous for carrying heat away faster than almost any other solid, yet new research shows that at the scale of individual atoms they can briefly bottle it up instead. Scientists have now ...
