Until recently, most studies on subgap states focused on amorphous IGZO, as sufficiently large single-crystal IGZO (sc-IGZO) ...

The article indicates that the sudden appearance (or disappearance?) of polymorphs can derail clinical programmes. Such an ...

Diamond owes its unique mechanical, thermal, optical, electrical, chemical, and biocompatible materials properties to its complete sp (3)-carbon network bonding. Crystallinity is another major ...

Diamond is well-known for being the hardest natural material on Earth, though synthetic forms have been developed that are even tougher – a feat that researchers have managed again, through a new ...

Herein, a distinctive nano dual-phase diamond (NDPD) comprised of an amorphous–crystalline heterostructure is developed to regulate Zn deposition and mechanically block dendrite growth. The rich ...

Notably, the a-DG exhibits hybrid features of amorphous graphite and atomically disordered diamond, while the p-D showcases numerous diamond-like nanonuclei distributed within an amorphous matrix.

Scientists have developed amorphous silicon carbide, a strong and scalable material with potential uses in microchip sensors, solar cells, and space exploration. This breakthrough promises significant ...
