MXenes are materials with almost miraculous properties: they can be used for electromagnetic shielding, for energy storage or for novel sensors. It was recently found that they are also amazingly ...

Mathematical models developed at the University of Michigan show how mismatched geometries can lead to fascinating complexity ...

This approach provides a stable and robust modification of the surface properties. Examples of covalent functionalization include silanization, where organosilane molecules are attached to the surface ...

As the size of a material decreases to the nanoscale, the surface-to-volume ratio increases dramatically, leading to unique properties and behaviors that differ from those of bulk materials. This ...

Recently, a research team led by Prof. Huang Zhulin from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences successfully synthesized a flexible nanofiber felt with ultralow ...
