Carbon nanotubes (No more holding nanotubes) that disperse as easily as spaghetti can use a little special sauce to reach their full potential. Rice lab solvent simplifies industrial 3D printing...

Similar to the widespread interest in graphite and diamond, there is growing interest in metastable phases (Metastable-phase advanced material synthesis technology), which have different physical properties than those of stable...

Supercapacitors (high performance with potassium-ion battery) are emerging as alternatives to lithium-ion batteries, offering higher power densities and longer lifetimes (number of cycles where capacity is maintained). A supercapacitor is...

Breakthrough by UChicago chemists could yield future devices such as nanocrystals to improve next-gen displays and solar cells. You can carry an entire computer in your pocket today because the...

Solid-state batteries for electric vehicles, offering greater energy density and range than contemporary lithium-ion batteries, remain out of reach, not least due to challenges coming from the composition of the...

The way electrons flow in materials determine its electronic properties. For example, when a voltage is sustained across a conducting material, electrons start flowing, generating an electrical current. These electrons...

MIT physicists have taken a significant step toward direct evidence of strong evidence of electron correlations in 2D material called ABC trilayer graphene. This material has previously been shown to...

Scientists from Sandia National Laboratories have announced a tiny, electronic device that can shunt excess electricity within a few billionths of a second while operating at a record-breaking 6,400 volts...

Technique by UChicago scientists creates ‘assembly line’ for integrating new materials. Let’s say you’re an engineer with an idea for a new car. But before you even can start experimenting,...

A novel and better approach to Seeing non-uniformities in 2D materials could potentially open the door to new uses for these materials, such as for drug detection, according to a...
