Earth’s inner core has long challenged researchers because seismic waves do not move through it uniformly. Compressional waves generated by earthquakes travel roughly 3 to 4 percent faster along Earth ...

Earth’s inner core has long puzzled scientists because seismic waves move through it unevenly. Compressional waves from ...

A 40-atom gold nanocluster breaks from gold's signature dense packing, forming square atomic planes with a central channel that accelerates electron relaxation about 80x.

Researchers at AIST have created a method to introduce alkali metals into the graphene interlayers, working with researchers from Osaka University, Tokyo Polytechnic University, Kyushu University, and ...

This is an overview of micromechanical deformation mechanisms in hexagonal close-packed metals. We start with an in-depth discussion of single-crystal behaviour concerning crystallographic slip, ...

image: This review overviews optimizing strategies and synthesis of graphene-based composite photocatalysts oriented by the fundamental manifold roles of graphene in photocatalysis and proposes the ...

Etching a photonic crystal structure onto the surface of an LED boosts light emission intensity by a factor of three. Scientists from the University of Hong Kong used a nanopatterned mask to etch the ...
