Researchers developed a material in which heat flow can be dynamically controlled by changing its thermal conductivity. The thermal conductivity is modulated by reversibly switching between a two-dimensional and a three-dimensional crystal structure in a solid solution of lead selenide and tin selenide, opening doors to potential thermal management applications.
Modern sports equipment often appears to be a showcase for new material technologies and nowhere has this been more true than in global sport competitions. Some of the high-tech materials used by athletes in competitive winter sports are using nanomaterials. But, as the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics has shown, other areas have benefited from nanotechnologies and nanoscience as well: ice skating, wearable monitoring devices, and even nanomaterial-based Braille printing of Olympic service ...
A team of scientists have velcroed 2D structures of MoS2 and graphene using a covalent connection for the first ime. The 2D-2D structures were used to build robust field effect transistors with controlled electronic communication, interface chemical nature and interlayer distance. The electronic properties of the system are dominated by the interface of the two covalently bonded layered materials.
Researchers have found a new way to create magnetic nanoparticles using ultrafast laser light pulses. The discovery could pave the way for new and more energy-efficient technical components and become useful in the quantum computers of the future.
Researchers have developed new chiral nanostructures with broad chiroptical activity from the ultraviolet to the short-wave infrared region to expand the choice of material platforms.
A global team of researchers, in a new study, make use of coconut husk to develop self-powered energy storage and harvesting devices, achieving high energy density and output performance, and opening doors to a circular economy.
