Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, UC Berkeley, Cornell, and Rutgers University have discovered layered 2D materials that can host unique magnetic features that remain stable at room temperature and could thus eventually be used in future everyday devices.
PNNL advances may make for better family vacations
Video description The Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory researchers are developing technologies that improve fuel efficiency and lessen environmental impacts while also making your trip more affordable and convenient. An award-winning PNNL technology is being used to reduce the weight of vehicles, which would allow you to travel farther before needing to […]
UCI scientists observe effects of heat in materials with atomic resolution
Using cutting-edge electron microscopes and novel techniques, a team of researchers at the University of California, Irvine, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and other institutions has found a way to map phonons – vibrations in crystal lattices – in atomic resolution, enabling deeper understanding of the way heat travels through quantum dots, engineered nanostructures in electronic components.
Atomic-scale window into superconductivity paves way for advanced new quantum materials
Superconductivity is caused by specially linked pairs of electrons known as Cooper pairs. So far, the occurrence of Cooper pairs has been measured indirectly macroscopically in bulk, but a new technique developed by researchers at Aalto University and Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the U.S. can detect their occurrence with atomic precision.
