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

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 ...

Breaking the long-standing assumption that intense deformation and mixing in metal processing fully randomize atomic arrangements, MIT scientists have demonstrated that metals retain subtle but stable ...

Developing durable oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts for acidic media is vital for advancing proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWE). This study reveals that the stability of ...

Since the groundbreaking discovery of graphene in 2004, the dizzying pace of progress in two-dimensional (2D) materials has ushered in a new era of fundamental research and technological innovation.
