Researchers at the University of Southern California have developed a bilayer coating of an insulator and graphene on top of a semiconductor that can tune the energy required to eject electrons out of the material, potentially making electrochemical devices more efficient.
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences, Germany, resolved and analyzed the mutual repulsion between individual electrons in an electron microscope for the first time, enabling the team to develop a method that could increase the performance of established electron microscopes and open up a new interface between electron microscopy and quantum technology.
Initial studies of the 4.5-billion-year-old asteroid Bennu sample collected in space and brought to Earth by NASA show evidence of high-carbon content and water, which together could indicate the building blocks of life on Earth may be found in the rock.
Magnetoelectric material is first of its kind able to directly stimulate neural tissue
A multidisciplinary team of University of Texas at Arlington researchers has received a $300,000 grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to improve the supply chain for rare earth metals.
