As design engineers, machine builders and OEMs continue to face increasing pressure to accelerate product development and reduce costly design errors, global ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

On-surface synthesis has received great attention as a method to create atomically-precise one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) polymers with intriguing properties. In particular, graphene ...

Researchers led by Shengxi Huang at Rice University investigated the behavior of polarons, a type of quasiparticle, in the nanomaterial tellurene. They found that as tellurene’s thickness decreases to ...

The following text will discuss the different theoretical and mathematical principles working behind geometry processing. It will also discuss how they are applied to different purposes while ...

3D micro-/nanofabrication holds the key to build a large variety of micro-/nanoscale materials, structures, devices, and systems with unique properties that do not manifest in their 2D planar ...

Flat materials that can morph into three-dimensional shapes have potential applications in architecture, medicine, robotics, space travel, and much more. But programming these shape changes requires ...

Researchers at the Nankai University in China have fabricated a perovskite solar cell using a 2D/3D perovskite heterointerface that improves device stability and performance. The research team ...

Controlled synthesis of metastable materials is a major focus in materials chemistry, with metastable thin films often synthesized through rapid condensation of vapor precursors. However, achieving ...
