Many interesting questions have been brought into focus with the observations of three perplexing objects.
By utilizing an automated experimentation platform on a microscope, researchers have uncovered a novel domain state in ferroelectrics that has a high electromechanical response.
Variable temperature piezoelectric microscopy combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations, optical spectroscopy, and material manipulation revealed unusual domain-walls in polar CuInP2Se6, which locally enhances
The search for the neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM) provides a powerful probe of new physics in the CP violating sector.
Neutron scattering from photovoltaic methylammonium lead iodide reveals a giant effect of isotopic substitution on phonons due to coupling with molecule dynamics that results in enhanced thermal resistivity and increased hot-carrier cooling times.
Quantum sensing with entangled light enabled a 50% enhancement in the sensitivity of microcantilever beam displacement measurements.1 This new approach could enable more than two orders of magnitude improvement in the sensitivity of scanning
We normally think of scintillators as materials which produce light, but what if light could also be used to produce these materials?
Energy-efficient CO2 capture from a flue gas simulant is demonstrated via crystallization of structurally unique bicarbonate-water clusters with an aqueous guanidine sorbent.
A new method was developed for the discovery of fundamental descriptors for gas adsorption through deep learning neural network (DNN) approach. This approach has great potential to identify structural parameters for gas adsorption.
