Manganese oxides have received much attention from materials scientists due to their widespread applications including electrodes, catalysts, sensors, supercapacitors, and biomedicine.
Cities with little tree cover are substantially hotter than their surroundings. The absorption of near-infrared (NIR) radiation in sunlight causes the “urban heat island” effect. As a result, NIR-reflective pigments that may minimize such heating effects are extremely sought.
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have found a way to build powerful magnets smaller than before, aiding the design and construction of machines that could help the world harness the power of the sun to create electricity without producing greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change.
A semiconductor is a material whose conductivity lies somewhere between that of a conductor and an insulator. This property allows semiconductors to serve as the base material for modern electronics and transistors.
A new study shows that nickel oxide superconductors, which conduct electricity with no loss at higher temperatures than conventional superconductors do, contain a type of quantum matter called charge density waves, or CDWs, that can accompany superconductivity.
In an article recently published in the journal ACS Applied Electronic Materials, researchers discussed the extreme-ultraviolet (UV) lithography monitoring of a Mo/Si mirror's temperature using photoluminescence.

In recent times, the majority of the energy storage systems (ESSs) have accepted lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), with the greatest technology maturity among the secondary batteries.
To activate CO2 molecules for hydrogenation into alternative energy sources at low temperatures, nonthermal plasma (NTP) is utilized.
The results of a collaborative study conducted by the Chemnitz University of Technology and several collaborator universities have shown how slow electrons tend to decrease the efficacy of new organic solar cells.
The global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions is considerable. Fluorine-containing gases, such as so-called per- or polyfluorinated hydrocarbons, or PFCs, as well as carbon dioxide (CO2), play a crucial role in this process.
Emissions of greenhouse gases contribute significantly to global warming. Not only carbon dioxide (CO2) but also fluorine-containing gases – including so-called per- or polyfluorinated hydrocarbons, or PFCs – have a significant share in this development.
In a paper recently published in the open-access journal Polymers, researchers reviewed the merits and demerits of protecting plants against pathogenic fungi using carbohydrate biopolymers.
