Sheets of metal just two atoms thick can be produced by squashing molten droplets at great pressure between two sapphires. The researchers who developed the process say the unusual materials could ...

Researchers at the University of Nottingham's School of Chemistry used transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to observe the ...

Metals, as most know them, are good conductors of electricity. That's because the countless electrons in a metal like gold or ...

You have seen that some materials are good conductors of electricity and some are not. Metals are generally good conductors, but some materials such as wood, rubber, and plastic are not good at ...

Scientists have for the first time filmed the real-time growth and contraction of Palladium nanoparticles, opening new avenues for utilising and recycling precious metal catalysts.

The pioneering nuclear chemist Glenn Seaborg discovered berkelium at Berkeley Lab in 1949. It was one of many achievements ...

A lab mistake led to self-forming spiral patterns on metal surfaces, revealing chemical-mechanical interactions.

UCLA doctoral student Yilin Wong left a sample out by mistake. It was a small chip made of germanium, topped with thin layers ...

The reaction can also handle coupling partners that don’t work as well with other cross-couplings, such as nitrogen-containing rings. And it works with anilines and aryl boronates, which can be used ...

Transition metal valence state, a key property steering heterogeneous catalysis, has remained underexplored for its role in tuning S cathode kinetics in Li–S batteries. This study reported that CuO ...

About 98% of lignin created as a forestry by-product from plants is discarded, but a new enzyme could be the key to ...

Scientists have for the first time filmed the real-time growth and contraction of Palladium nanoparticles, opening new ...
