Charge order and electron localization in a molecule-based solid

In new work, researchers report a Verwey-type charge-ordering transition in a different class of mixed-valence compounds that is composed of negatively charged dioxygen molecules.

New metal-semiconductor interface for brain-inspired computing

Physicists have combined a niobium doped strontium titanate (SrTiO3) semiconductor with ferromagnetic cobalt. At the interface, this creates a spin-memristor with storage abilities, paving the way for neuromorphic computing architectures.

New semiconductor processing technology with nanosponges

Researchers have succeeded in developing a method for the controlled manufacture of porous silicon carbide.

New fuel cell technology runs on solid carbon

Advancements allow the fuel cell to utilize about three times as much carbon as earlier direct carbon fuel cell (DCFC) designs.

Taking control at the junction

Fine tuning the composition of nitride alloys can further the development of optical and electronic interface devices.

Two dimensional circuit with magnetic quasi-particles

Researchers have shown for the first time, in an initial model, that magnon current flow is possible in an integrated magnon circuit, in which case the components are only being connected two dimensionally.

Palladium nanoparticles can repair atomic dislocations in their crystal structure

A new study has shown that some nanoparticles can 'self-heal' after experiencing intense strain, once that strain is removed. This self-healing behavior could be worth exploring in other materials.
