Using the Advanced Photon Source's ultrabright X-rays, researchers have determined that sunlight itself can improve the efficiency of 2D materials used to collect solar energy.
Carnegie's Yingwei Fei and Lin Wang were part of an international research team that synthesized a new ultrahard form of carbon glass with a wealth of potential practical applications for devices and electronics.
Physicists have created a new ultra-thin two-layer material with quantum properties that normally require rare earth compounds.
Forcing electrons to flow perpendicularly to a heat flow requires an external magnetic field – this is known as the Nernst effect. In a permanently magnetized material (a ferromagnet), an anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) exists that can generate electricity from heat even without a magnetic field.
Quantifying temperature's impact on bulk powder properties is crucial for process optimization in industries like pharmaceuticals and additive manufacturing.
