Researchers have developed a technique for printing thin metal oxide films at room temperature, and demonstrated the technique by printing metal oxides onto a polymer, creating highly flexible ...

Gold nanoparticles supported on silica are coated with monolayer LDH nanosheets and calcined to produce an ultra-thin layer of mixed metal oxide. The gold and MMO work together to realize enhanced ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The field of three-dimensional (3D) nanoprinting has long promised to revolutionize the fabrication of advanced materials and devices. This technology offers the potential to ...

A new artificial intelligence (AI) tool could make it much easier to discover better materials for clean energy technologies.

The structure of two-dimensional titanium oxide brakes-up at high temperatures by adding barium; instead of regular hexagons, rings of four, seven and ten atoms are created that order aperiodically. A ...

A recent article proposes a new way to understand how materials interact with hydrogen. Understanding the interactions between materials and chemical species is critical for engineers as it helps them ...

Researchers experimentally confirm their 2021 hypothesis that electron-phonon coupling, not electron-electron interactions, explains why some metallic oxides are transparent. (Nanowerk News) ...

TU Delft scientists used plasma treatment with boron (PTB) to build heterojunction solar cells relying on a hole transport layer made of transition metal oxide (TMO) thin films. The device showed ...

Caltech scientists have developed a method to create metallic objects of a precisely specified shape and composition, giving them unprecedented control of the metallic mixtures, or alloys, they create ...

If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in ...
