Researchers have discovered that hexagonal boron nitride in layered, molecule-thin 2D sheets can phase transition to a cubic structure at room temperature.
A variety of experiments, including x-ray studies, provided direct evidence of a magnetic transition in a type of 2D transition metal compound called a MXene.
Researchers have created a new tungsten-substituted vanadium oxide catalyst for breaking down harmful nitrogen oxides in industrial exhaust. Their new catalyst material works at lower temperatures and does not suffer major drops in performance when processing 'wet' exhaust, resolving a major drawback in conventional vanadium oxide catalysts.
Researchers revealed the luminescence enhancement mechanism of a series of new lead-free quadruple halide perovskite nanocrystals, and prepared high-performance photodetectors.
Scientists used the 'zoom-in' phase transition universal method to realize a detailed analysis of the structural deformation and electronic properties of metallofullerenes under high pressure.
