Researchers can now direct the traffic of electrons in nanomaterials well enough to analyze it - and, down the road, put it to use in next-gen technology.
The development of metallic hydrides with large hydrogen storage capacities will be crucial in bringing a hydrogen economy into existence. Scientists have now discovered that the hardness of base metals - an ingredient for hydride synthesis - is the dominant factor affecting their ability to hydrogenate.
Scientists have new insight about the formation of vortices in a type of quantum fluid, work that could help our comprehension of the physics mystery of how vortex clusters form.
Researchers propose that the phenomenon related to the surface competition between elements can be used as an approach for harvesting mixed metal oxide sheets that can be used in electronics. This observation may lead to new horizons for the production of large two-dimensional electronic materials from the surface of liquid metals for application in electronic and optic industries.
