Scientists have created the first-ever atomic movies showing how atoms rearrange locally within a quantum material as it transitions from an insulator to a metal. With the help of these movies, the ...

The investment landscape surrounding the low carbon transition is poised for change and opportunity. Oscar Pulido and Olivia Markham explores the brown-to-green transition and the role of mining ...

Purdue University professor Gábor Csáthy and graduate student Katherine Schreiber inspect equipment used to cool samples to near absolute zero. The equipment was used in Purdue-led research that led ...

This article is based on a poster originally authored by Ellen Williams, Peyton Willis, Andrew Laroche, and Calvin M. Stewart. There is an increasing demand for novel materials and parts able to ...

Ferroelectric materials are distinguished by a spontaneous macroscopic polarisation that can be reversed by an external electric field. These systems undergo phase transitions that are central to ...

Superconductors have four classic traits, including conducting electric current without loss and levitating magnets. Now the discovery of the fourth and final trait caps 15 years of detective work.

The study of layered materials is a popular scientific topic, especially since the 2010 Nobel prize in physics was awarded to producers of graphene, a two-dimensional material composed of carbon atoms ...

HONOLULU — With the transition to copper and low-k interconnects showing just how difficult changes in materials can be, technologists gathered at the 2002 Symposium on VLSI Technology here last week ...

In order to achieve global sustainability goals, brand owners, governments and consumers must work together to achieve a truly circular economy. Consumers in rich countries use more plastic materials ...

Brookhaven scientists used their new ultrafast pair distribution function (uf-PDF) technique to explore the transition of a quantum material to a previously undiscovered material phase. The above ...
