Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University in Japan have developed two organic semiconductor materials using a light-driven chemical reaction, with one showing a theoretically predicted hole mobility around five times higher than the other. The approach could support the development of…
A toolbox at BESSY II Common trends in bulk and nanofilm samples The results from the examined nanocrystalline film made of this alloy demonstrate some common trends as compared to a bulk sample, e.g., the largest lattice relaxations of Chromium and…
Electrocatalysis underlies hydrogen production, fuel cells, and carbon-neutral chemical synthesis, which enables next-generation clean-energy systems rely on fast and selective redox reactions at solid–liquid interfaces, yet their mechanisms have remained difficult to resolve. Capturing Interfacial Species: EC-SERS Reveals Hidden…
Nanoscale materials, or nanomaterials, are materials where at least one relevant length scale is within the range of nanometres. These materials usually have very different properties from their bulk counterparts, due to the importance of quantum and surface boundary effects.
Discovered Materials uses AI models developed by Anthropic to generate potential materials that could help manage heat in high-performance semiconductor chips. Once the candidates are identified, the company evaluates them through physics-based models and computational simulations to determine which ones…
A research team co-led by materials scientists from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has recently discovered a new mechanism to increase the strength and ductility of a high-entropy alloy, two properties which normally vary inversely with each other. The…

When a power supply board suddenly stops working, many people tend to look for the cause in obvious component failures, such as a faulty semiconductor chip or a broken wire. However, from the perspective of electronic component engineering, the electrolyte…
This Technical Meeting will provide a forum for the exchange of experience, good practices, and recent developments related to radioactive waste characterization and inventory planning across the waste life cycle. The meeting will be hosted by the Government of Hungary…
A team of Yale University researchers has discovered a "repulsive" light force that can be used to control components on silicon microchips, meaning future nanodevices could be controlled by light rather than electricity. "This completes the picture," Tang said. "We've…
