Artificial muscles bloom, dance, and wave

Wearing a flower brooch that blooms before your eyes sounds like magic. Researchers have made it real with MXenes and robotic muscles.

Next generation synthetic covalent 2-D materials unveiled

Researchers have developed a new method to synthesize 2D materials that are thought to be impossible or, at least, unobtainable by current technologies.

Switching electron properties on and off individually

Properties of complex materials are often determined by the interplay of several electron properties. Scientists have now succeeded in disentangling this mess.

Understanding how electric current affects the magnetic skyrmion changes

Researchers are investigating the dynamics of magnetic skyrmions with the eventual goal of developing spintronic devices.
