When bonding noble metals to 2D materials, interfaces matter

Researchers have developed new materials for improved single-atom catalysis and future electronics.

Production of high yield Si-C for anodes in Li batteries

Novel composite combining the high energy storage capacity of silicon and the elastic property of carbon.

Safe method of adding metal particles to organic nanomaterials paves way for better batteries

Novel liquid-based method for safe synthesis of carbon-based materials containing ultrafine metallic atoms.

Breaking the temperature barrier in small-scale materials testing

Researchers have demonstrated a new method for testing microscopic aeronautical materials at ultra-high temperatures. By combining electron microscopy and laser heating, scientists can evaluate these materials much more quickly and inexpensively than with traditional testing.
