Removing excess iron reveals FeTe as a superconductor, and its properties can be engineered using layered structures and moiré effects.

Superconductivity—the ability of a material to conduct electricity without any energy loss to heat—enables highly efficient, ...

Topological interlocking materials and structures represent an innovative design approach in which individual, often geometrically complex, elements are arranged to mutually constrain one another.

Researchers have revisited a long-known material and uncovered a way to dramatically enhance its performance by altering its structure at the nanoscale.

In the future, there could be materials that can reconfigure themselves on demand, adapting their structure and properties like living organisms. A team of Japanese scientists have created a ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The materials we interact with every day—whether they are steel, glass, or rubber—have properties like strength, flexibility, or brittleness that stem from their chemical ...

Scientists have created a new kind of carbon material that could make carbon capture much cheaper and more efficient. By carefully controlling how nitrogen atoms are arranged, they found certain ...

A review paper presents an integrated AFM framework for observing, manipulating, and engineering ferroelectric materials at ...

Most materials, especially metals and ceramics, are crystals. Their atoms are arranged in three-dimensional lattices that repeat the same exact pattern, over and over again. But there's a well-known ...

Mono-material flexible film packaging structures based primarily on polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), or even polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are being promoted as an effective means of ...
