Won again he has - 'MXene Yoda' wins art competition

'Mxene Yoda' has been created from a SEM scan of oxidized 2-D V2CTx particles that show promise as electrode material for supercapacitors and batteries.

Researchers develop semi-liquid metal anode for next-generation batteries

The new anode could help create a safer high energy lithium metal battery.

Hybrid nanostructure steps up light-harvesting efficiency

A stepwise transfer of energy through the different components of the nanostructure boosts its response to light, showing promise for solar cell applications.

Octopus-inspired skin-adhesive sensors

Researchers demonstrate a facile, low-cost, scalable fabricating method for water-resistant and skin-adhesive wearable graphene-coated fabric sensors.

Scientists achieve first observation of three-dimensional quantum Hall effect

In this study, researchers discovered that the carrier density wave induced by electron-electron interaction is the key factor for the appearance of 3D quantum Hall effect. Electrons in such a system can travel freely between different energy bands, like boats traveling in vast ocean.
