By changing the physical structure of gold at the nanoscale, researchers can drastically change how the material interacts with light—and, as a result, its electronic and optical properties. This is ...

Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are narrow strips of graphene whose remarkable electronic properties arise from their reduced dimensionality and unique edge configurations. The quantum confinement and ...

Scientists have decoded the electronic structure of water, opening up new perspectives for technological and environmental applications. There is no doubt that water is significant. Without it, life ...

Peer-Reviewed Publication University of Liverpool University of Liverpool researchers have discovered a way to host some of the most significant properties of graphene in a three‑dimensional (3D) ...

Definition: Topological electronic states refer to unique quantum states of matter that are characterized by their topological properties rather than their local or chemical properties. These states ...

What is the Quantum Size Effect? The quantum size effect (QSE) is a phenomenon observed in nanomaterials where their electronic, optical, and magnetic properties deviate from those of the bulk ...

An automated process can characterize key electronic properties of semiconductors 85 times faster than conventional methods. Boosting the performance of solar cells and other devices will require ...

A research team from Nanjing University has developed an in-situ on-device electrochemical intercalation method to manipulate the structural and electronic properties of MoS2 thin flakes, resulting in ...

There is no doubt that water is significant. Without it, life would never have begun, let alone continue today—not to mention its role in the environment itself, with oceans covering over 70% of Earth ...
