Researchers described a new pathway to obtain novel optical and electronic properties from structural disorder in a recently published study. They found that tiny displacements of just a few picometers – that’s 100,000 times smaller than the thickness of a sheet of paper – in the atomic structure of a crystal could have minimal impacts […]
Bio-inspired materials’ potential for efficient mass transfer boosted by a new twist on a century-old theory
Did you know leaves could be the key to unlocking new energy storage and catalysis improvements? The key lies within their natural vein structure and the century-old biophysical law, Murray’s Law. An international team of researchers, led by the NanoEngineering Group at the Cambridge Graphene Centre, has developed a new materials theory based on ‘Murray’s […]
Turning up the heat on data storage: New memory device paves the way for AI computing in extreme environments
Researchers at University of Pennsylvania demonstrated memory technology capable of enduring temperatures as high as 600° Celsius—more than twice the tolerance of any commercial drives on the market—and these characteristics were maintained for more than 60 hours, indicating exceptional stability and reliability.
