Solar panels, a better medical drug, or smooth chocolate all require just the right amount of crystals to make up the material. Now, researchers trying to understand the paths crystals take as they develop have been able to influence that path by adjusting the starting ingredient.
Two innovative magnetic materials have been proposed and developed, atom-by-atom, by material scientists by means of high-throughput computational models. The achievement could lead to the start of a new age in the extensive modeling of innovative magnetic materials at unprecedented pace.
Despite the fact that innumerable optoelectronic devices are fabricated using semiconductors, with the size of the devices getting reduced, and high expectations on them, new materials are in demand to increase the efficiency of the devices.
Nagoya University researchers have presented a report in Nature Communications highlighting the development of an organic catalyst (organocatalyst) that activates a highly stereoselective 1,6-addition of azlactones (nucleophile) to a δ-aryl dienyl carbonyl compound (electrophile) to produce high yields of amino acid derivatives.
Researchers have been able to capture the ephemeral electron movements in a transient state of a reaction vital in optoelectronic and biochemical procedures, and for the first time, could directly characterize it using ultrafast X-ray spectroscopy at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab).
A group of chemists are working to develop an innovative laser-based method for finding out hidden damages to metals. The method will enable the investigation of the structural integrity of a ship, airplane, or bridge, without the need for dismantling it or for detaching any material for testing, which might further weaken the structure.
A recent discovery highlighted that a novel electronic phase is exhibited by alpha-tin, generally known as gray tin, when its crystal structure is strained.
The first iron-based molecule that has the potential to emit light has been developed by a research team at Lund University in Sweden. This new molecule can contribute to the production of environmentally friendly and cost-effective materials such as displays, light sources and solar cells.
Researchers at Hokkaido University have successfully developed a nickel complex that alters magnetism and color when exposed to methanol vapor. The promising new material can be used as a chemical sensor as well as with future rewritable memory devices.
According to a team of researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology a material, which was used for years to color food items ranging from ice creams to corn chips, could potentially have more uses in addition to being used as food dyes.
