Researchers from Lanzhou University, Tohoku University and SRM University have developed a molecularly engineered covalent organic framework (COF)-graphene interface that addresses two persistent challenges in lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries: polysulfide shuttling...

Researchers from Texas A&M University and LTEOIL recently demonstrated a scalable, plasma-based route for producing graphene oxide (GO) directly from methane, combining atmospheric-pressure processing with a liquid-phase growth interface to overcome key...

A decades-old puzzle about water has finally been unraveled. Researchers found that water trapped in tiny nanoscale spaces is not inherently more reactive. Instead, the intense pressures created inside these microscopic gaps explain most of the effect, while the...

A new quantum device can generate precisely controlled bursts of sound-like particles, or phonons, by forcing electrons through an ultra-thin crystal at extremely low temperatures. The surprising behavior pushes beyond the limits predicted by current theories,...

A major breakthrough in quantum technology has turned magnons, tiny magnetic waves once considered too short-lived for practical use, into promising carriers of quantum information. Researchers extended their lifetime by nearly 100 times, reaching up to 18...

Researchers have created quantum control techniques that can make a system appear to run backward in time. By precisely managing quantum measurements, they can reshape the system's arrow of time and even harvest energy from the measurement process itself. The...
