Researchers proposed Quantum Phononic Links that confine acoustic phonons within strained germanium quantum wells to connect spatially separated hole spin qubits. Simulations and theoretical estimates suggest that the CMOS-compatible architecture could provide frequency-selective coupling over long on-chip distances, though experiments must verify its performance.
Researchers showed that strong metal-polymer bonding depends on electron donation from polymer functional groups into vacant orbitals on oxidized metal surfaces. By engineering oxygen vacancies and carboxyl groups, they increased the tensile-shear strength of magnesium alloy/CFRTP joints by more than 400%.
Researchers developed a hybrid generative AI framework that designs 3D energetic material grain structures to match user-defined pressure-time combustion profiles. By combining physics-informed geometry modeling, diffusion-based generation, and gradient-based refinement, the approach reduced design time while maintaining strong simulation-based performance matching.
Fusion at high temperatures powers the sun and, if harnessed, could provide a potential source of energy here on Earth. But controlling fusion reactions has other benefits.
Researchers engineered a copper-bismuth reversible metal electrodeposition layer with a rotatable low- and high-emissivity window structure for all-season spectral control. The material system modulated solar transmission by 52.2% and long-wave infrared emissivity by 0.87, supporting lower modeled building energy use.
Researchers embedded a sulfonate-functionalized covalent organic framework in a fluorinated polymer electrolyte, creating ordered pathways that increased sodium-ion conductivity to 1.2 mS cm?¹ at 30 °C. The composite supported long-lived sodium-metal cycling and retained 87.3% capacity after 488 cycles in a 1 Ah solid-state pouch cell.
PicoQuant, a world leading company in photoluminescence instrumentation, announces the launch of Solira, a new microscope for time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) measurements and advanced materials characterization.
The future of scientific discovery will use all the technological tools at humanity's disposal, and no scientific field is better equipped to do so than autonomous discovery, which combines robotics and artificial intelligence (AI).
Researchers developed a thiourea-derived surface treatment that combines a sub-nanometer sulfur-rich coating with a spinel-like layer to protect lithium-rich manganese oxide cathodes and accelerate lithium-ion transport. In laboratory solid-state half-cells, the modified cathode delivered 220.2 mAh g?¹ and retained approximately 97% of its capacity after 600 cycles at 1 C.
This review shows how grain refinement, dynamic recrystallization, phase transformations, and controlled precipitation enable selected medium- and high-entropy alloys to sustain extreme elongation at elevated temperatures. The authors identify scalable processing, oxidation resistance, cost, recyclability, and validation in engineering-scale components as key barriers to industrial superplastic forming.
