A structure with precisely engineered layers produces a giant strain in an electric field. The interplay between structural distortions and electric dipoles at the interfaces between layers could aid ...

Robotic stacking of 2D material layers on a heated substrate while applying pressure pushes out residues such as polymers from between the layers, resulting in atomically clean interfaces between ...

A recent study published in Advanced Materials Interfaces examines how water nanofilms affect heat transfer and adhesion at the interface between hematite (α-Fe 2 O ...

Scientists have cracked open a mysterious layer inside batteries, using cutting-edge 3D atomic force microscopy to capture the dynamic molecular structures at their solid-liquid interfaces. These once ...

NIMS has developed a durable 1-cm 2 perovskite solar cell capable of generating electricity for more than 1,000 continuous hours at a photoelectric conversion efficiency (i.e., power generation ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers used a special robotic system to assemble very large pieces of atomically clean two-dimensional materials into stacks. The study, published in Small ("Mechanisms of ...
