Researchers have found that a novel metallic crystal displays unusual electronic behavior on its surface, thanks to the crystal's unique atomic structure. Their findings open up the possibility of ...

Recently, a research group developed a giant magneto-superelasticity of 5% in a Ni 34 Co 8 Cu 8 Mn 36 Ga 14 single crystal. This was achieved by introducing arrays of ordered dislocations to form ...

Researchers at Rice University have found an alloy of copper, vanadium, and sulfur that forms crystals that, due to quantum effects, can trap electrons. This can produce flat bands, which have been ...

Copper (Cu) foil, with its exceptional electrical and thermal conductivity, serves as a foundational material for integrated circuits, high-frequency communication, and advanced energy technologies.

The erudite science of solid-state physics can predict from theory how strong a metallic crystal should be if all its atoms were arranged in a perfect, regular pattern. The figure is usually so high ...

Let's take a look at a paper clip. A typical paper clip is made up of 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms of iron. These atoms are tightly packed and in a crystalline structure, a regular arrangement ...

(Nanowerk News) A multinational team of researchers, co-led by a City University of Hong Kong (CityU) physicist, has found that a novel metallic crystal displays unusual electronic behaviour on its ...
