A new study reveals how different synthesis methods can profoundly impact the structure and function of high entropy oxides, a class of materials with applications in everyday electronic devices. A ...

A new paper from the lab of Asst. Prof. Chibueze Amanchukwu (left) of the UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, including first author Priyadarshini Mirmira (right), demonstrates a new ...

James Tour’s lab at Rice University has developed a new method called flash-within-flash Joule heating (FWF). This method has the potential to transform the synthesis of high-quality solid-state ...

Generative AI models have been used to create enormous libraries of theoretical materials that could help solve all kinds of problems. Now, scientists just have to figure out how to make them. In many ...

When scientists make the thin metal films used in electronics, optics and quantum technologies, they usually spend months tinkering with the temperature, composition and timing of the process, hoping ...

Researchers have developed a novel method for synthesizing acetylene from carbon dioxide without using fossil fuels Since its discovery, in 1836, acetylene has emerged as an essential chemical ...

To limit greenhouse gas emissions, one promising method is to trap CO₂ before it reaches the air. But current processes are ...

Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are semiconducting crystals. They exist on a nanometer scale (ca. 2–12 nm) and are coated with ligand/surfactant molecules to avoid agglomeration. Due to their size, CQDs ...
