Researchers have conceived and realized a new quantum material: 'Indenene'. Consisting of a single layer of the chemical element Indium, indenene enriches the family of the so-called topological insulators.
Unplanned 2D material discovery could lead to future pivotal discoveries in batteries, fuel cells, devices for converting heat to electricity and more.
Researchers have developed a new, simple approach for generating terahertz radiation. Strong optical laser pulses enable terahertz electromagnetic fields to be generated directly at a specific point.
Researchers developed a methodology of electron-microscopy-based atom recognition statistic to directly identify the activity origin of Pt/Al2O3 industrial reforming catalyst through atom-by-atom counting of over 18,000 Pt atoms.
