A setback in growing light-responsive crystals led UB chemist Jason Benedict and his team to a novel method for mapping ...

The study of curvature effects on crystal structures and defect dynamics offers pivotal insights into how geometric constraints influence material properties at the micro‐ and nanoscale. Curved ...

If we are to prevent the impending environmental crisis, it is imperative that we find efficient and sustainable ways to avoid being wasteful. One area with much room for improvement is the recycling ...

Researchers and industries have been using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to study semiconductors' stacking and dislocation faults. This article considers the analysis of crystal structures.

Controlling the transport properties through a zeolite and the rates of diffusion and size of molecules that can be stored or transported are key in developing and optimizing zeolites for various ...

Rare-earth magnets are essential for electric motors in vehicles, drones, and trains, forming the backbone of modern, ...

What is High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM)? High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) is an advanced imaging technique that enables the direct visualization of ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The petrochemical industry relies on separating chemicals that differ by just fractions of a nanometer in size. Methanol must be purified from similarly-sized molecules in the ...
