The interaction between solid matter and positron (the antiparticle of electron) has provided important insights across a variety of disciplines, including atomic physics, materials science, ...

From computer chips to quantum dots—technological platforms were only made possible thanks to a detailed understanding of the ...

To study the interactions between electrons in a material, physicists have come up with a number of tricks over the years.

A new material characterized at the US Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory could open a pathway toward more efficient fuel cells. The material, a super-lattice, improves ionic ...

Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) are attracting major interest as these devices are potentially low-cost components that could be used in a wide range of electronics applications, but ...

An ETH Zurich researcher has developed a computational method for predicting the structure of materials. He used it to solve the structure of a newly synthesized form of pure boron that displays some ...

Materials that conduct ions are useful in devices involving electrochemical reactions, such as fuel cells and batteries. Low ionic conductivity was a problem for these materials until researchers ...

Sodium Chloride is an alkali halide with an fcc crystal structure. The basis is two ions, a sodium cation and a chlorine anion. The crystal lattice parameter is 0.563 nm. The diagram shows both a unit ...

Full Title: “Surfactants and Polymerizable Surfactants Based on Room-temp Ionic Liquids that Form Bicontinuous Cubic Lyotropic Liquid Crystal Phases with Water and Room-temp Ionic Liquids." A modular ...

Positron, the antiparticle of electron, has the same mass and charge as that of an electron but with the sign flipped for the charge. It is an attractive particle for scientists because the use of ...
