A schematic diagram of Cu2O-Mn3O4-NiO ternary nanocomposites preparation process. Compared with the traditional hydrothermal method, the materials prepared by electrospinning are nanostructure, which improved the electron transport capacity and the...

The circular orbit of the charged electron and the spin are locked together like gears due to the very strong attractionin the spin-orbit coupling. Credit: Takashi Kobayashi. A group of...

Synchrotron X-ray beam impinging upon ionic liquid molecules confined within a graphitic carbon slit-pore. X-ray scattering in the background reveals new details regarding their structure under nanoconfinement, which were validated...

Figure shows (a) scanning transmission electron microscope measurement of the zigzag edge of a tantalum disulfide (TaS2) flake on hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) with the predicted geometric structures calculated by...
