Researchers at Monash University (Melbourne, Australia) developed a new open-source software package that aims to significantly streamline the study of materials using scanning tunneling microscopes (STMs). The software, named Scanbot, automates the time-consuming probe optimization and data acquisition processes essential for STM experiments, helping to accelerate 2D materials research by enabling detailed investigation after the STM tip has been automatically optimized and sharpened.

Researchers have developed a technique to engineer layered hybrid perovskites (LHPs) down to the atomic level, precisely controlling how these materials convert electrical charge into light. This advancement paves the way for creating materials tailored for next-generation printed LEDs and lasers, and holds promise for engineering other materials for photovoltaic devices. Perovskites, known for their […]
Researchers from Texas A&M University and Sandia National Laboratories have significantly enhanced interlocking metasurfaces (ILMs) using shape memory alloys (SMAs), offering a stronger and more stable alternative to traditional joining techniques like bolts and adhesives, with potential applications in aerospace, robotics, and biomedical devices. “ILMs are poised to redefine joining technologies across a range of […]
