To obtain single crystalline metal seeds with various surface structures, polycrystalline Cu foils were first oxidized and then annealed at a high temperature (1020 °C), which is close to the melting ...
Researchers have discovered that not all atoms in a liquid are in motion and that some remain stationary regardless of the temperature, significantly impacting the solidification process, including ...
Grinding a crystalline metal-organic framework (MOF) material in a ball mill converts it into an amorphous structure and then into other crystal morphologies, according to research presented Tuesday ...
Researchers report how highly crystalline samples of transition metal dichalcogenides such as MoS2 and WS2 can be grown. These ultra-thin and mechanically flexible materials are important for the ...
Many natural compounds that act on the human body provide active ingredients for medicines or clues for developing them, and ...
A new metallic compound has shattered a long standing barrier in heat management, conducting thermal energy nearly three ...
THE RECIPE is exceedingly simple: Add one or two organic building blocks to a solvent mixture, heat at 85 °C inside a sealed tube for several days, and—voilà—you have created a new class of ...
(Nanowerk News) The boundary between solid metal and liquid metal can be much less ‘solid’ than we ever suspected. RMIT researchers have discovered that the liquid-solid boundary can fluctuate back ...
Just as cloning in biology allows for the creation of one or more replicas of the exact same genes, seeded growth in chemistry can produce a very large metal foil with the exact same surface texture ...
