Scientists from Ames National Laboratory have identified the first unconventional superconductor with a chemical composition also found in nature. Miassite is one of only four minerals found in nature that act as a superconductor when grown in the lab. The team’s investigation of miassite revealed that it is an unconventional superconductor with properties similar to […]
A new world of 2D material is opening up
Materials that are incredibly thin, only a few atoms thick, exhibit unique properties that make them appealing for energy storage, catalysis and water purification. Researchers at Linköping University have now developed a method that enables the synthesis of hundreds of new 2D materials. Since the discovery of graphene, the field of research in extremely thin […]

Magnetic force microscope in glovebox images air-sensitive samples
A research team led by Prof. Lu Qingyou from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) achieved a breakthrough by creating a unique magnetic force microscope (MFM) that can image air-sensitive materials without requiring surface protection coatings. The successful development of this glovebox-assisted MFM system marks a significant advancement in scientific instrumentation.
