(Nanowerk Spotlight) Chemical reactions power everything from industrial manufacturing to clean energy production, but their efficiency depends critically on catalysts - materials that speed up ...

A small shift in how metal atoms are arranged can change how electricity moves through them, pointing to new ways to build ...

University of Minnesota researchers have discovered a way to precisely control a metal’s electronic properties by stabilizing polarization at its atomic interfaces. By adjusting a ruthenium dioxide ...

Material science research into 2D materials has accelerated since the discovery of graphene in 2004. Graphene is a 2D sheet of carbon atoms, arranged in a way that each carbon atom is bonded to three ...

University of Minnesota researchers have demonstrated that metals can be tuned at the atomic level by manipulating polarization effects at material interfaces. By adjusting ruthenium dioxide film ...
