Researchers are exploring MXenes, 2D materials that could transform air into ammonia for cleaner fertilizers and fuels. Their atomic structures can be tuned to optimize performance, making them promising alternatives to expensive catalysts.

Physicists have uncovered how direct atom-atom interactions can amplify superradiance, the collective burst of light from atoms working in sync. By incorporating quantum entanglement into their models, they reveal that these interactions can enhance energy transfer...

Researchers from Malaysia have advanced the development of next-generation bifacial dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) by integrating graphene into a trilayer photoanode configuration to boost both efficiency and stability. The team focused on a titanium dioxide...

Versarien, which previously announced it had been "receiving multiple offers" for the accelerated sale of its intellectual property and shares, is now in advanced talks with a UK-listed company, according to a recent statement.Versarien said it has now signed a...

Researchers from China's Peking University, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and Tsinghua University have gained new insights into the van der Waals (vdW) transparency of graphene, a property that determines how it mediates molecular interactions...

Penn State scientists have devised a new method to predict superconducting materials that could work at higher temperatures. Their model bridges classical superconductivity theory with quantum mechanics through zentropy theory. This breakthrough could guide the...

Researchers have made germanium superconducting for the first time, a feat that could transform computing and quantum technologies. Using molecular beam epitaxy to embed gallium atoms precisely, the team stabilized the crystal structure to carry current without...

Archer Materials has reported that initial data from first-stage testing of its blood potassium graphene Biochip project have shown the technology suitable for silicon for point-of-care and at-home diagnostic applications. Archer expects the findings to de-risk its...
