A new collection of chemically diverse dome-celled ultralight aerogels with high porosity and very low density feature elasticity and mechanical properties that remain intact even under extreme temperatures from 4.2 kelvin (K) to 2273 K. … Read More »Dome-shaped aerogel architecture offers superior toughness and flexibility for spacecraft applications
The reliable separation of some gases from others could be highly advantageous for a wide range of applications. For instance, it could help to produce hydrogen (H2) for fuel cells and chemical applications or to… Read More »New approach to engineering crumpled GO membranes for separating hydrogen and other gases
Topological materials are a class of materials that exhibit unique electronic properties at their boundary (surface in 3D materials; edge in 2D materials) that are robust against imperfections or disturbances and are markedly different from… Read More »Researchers uncover a topological excitonic insulator with a tunable momentum order
Scientists use scanning tunneling microscopy to understand how a material’s electronic or magnetic properties relate to its structure on the atomic scale. When using this technique, however, they can normally investigate only the uppermost atomic… Read More »Scanning tunneling microscopy reveals subsurface atomic structure
An evaporating colloidal particle–laden droplet leaves behind a ring-like residue after drying. We routinely observe this ubiquitous phenomenon for dried coffee drops; thus, it is known as the “coffee-ring effect.” As a droplet evaporates, the… Read More »From coffee rings to saucer patterns—how graphene oxide’s surface chemistry shapes evaporating droplet deposits
A team of researchers report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on a new graphene-based sensor design that, through machine learning, was able to develop a near-human sense of taste. This device… Read More »Graphene-based artificial tongue achieves near-human-like sense of taste
Scientists from TU Delft (The Netherlands) have observed quantum spin currents in graphene for the first time without using magnetic fields. These currents are vital for spintronics, a faster and more energy-efficient alternative to electronics.… Read More »Quantum spin currents in graphene without external magnetic fields pave way for ultra-thin spintronics
