In the quest for next-generation energy, sensing, and pigment technologies, semiconducting metal oxides like titanium dioxide ...

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 ...

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 ...

One way to develop safer, more-sustainable chemical processes is to substitute potentially harmful chemicals with less-risky ...

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

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 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 ...

A new way to create ultra-thin layers of metals makes it possible for scientists to study a new and unusual class of 2D ...

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

The questions in this quiz are suitable for GCSE chemistry students studying alloys and structure and bonding in metals. If you struggled with the quiz, don't panic - we've got you! You can revise ...

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

Curiosity about a mistake that left tiny dots on a germanium wafer with evaporated metal films led to the discovery of beautiful spiral patterns etched on the surface of the semiconductor by a ...
