Laser pushed sails—ultrathin need reflective structures that are square meters but weight a gram. If the sails and the ...

Abstract: Nd123's substitution phases (Nd123) have been synthesized by citrate sol-gel method. A complex behavior of the crystal lattice parameters of Nd123's substitution phases as function of ...

The discovery of superconductivity in twisted bilayer graphene sparked interest in the electronic properties of similarly distorted 2D crystal lattices. The twisted structure is created by ...

Find out how solar cells power a good portion of homes today—and how they might power almost everything in the future.

Abstract: A rectangle lattice silica-host photonic crystal fiber with large mode area (LMA) is successfully fabricated for the first time. The introduction of rectangle lattice contributes to distinct ...

This creates specific gaps, so-called vacancies, in the crystal lattice of the conductor material. These gaps help the lithium ions to move more easily and faster, resulting in a new world record ...

A new material called glafene, created from graphene and quartz glass, is characterized by unique electronic behavior and ...

A research team has discovered how to make a promising energy-harvesting material much more efficient—without relying on rare ...

TUM researchers develop new material for solid-state batteries. Solid-state batteries are considered a key technology for the ...

New research explains previous contradictory observations in terms of “topological blocking”, which may occur in other ...
