Lithium-rich layered oxides (LRLOs) offer exceptionally high capacities but suffer rapid energy loss because of irreversible ...

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 ...

At low temperatures, hydrogen atoms move less like particles and more like waves. This characteristic enables quantum tunneling, the passage of an atom through a barrier with a higher potential energy ...

Abstract: The octahedral group is one of the finite subgroups of the rotation group in 3-D Euclidean space and a symmetry group of the cubic grid. Compression and filtering of 3-D volumes are given as ...

As one of the most promising materials for next-generation solar cells, organometallic perovskites have attracted substantial fundamental and applied interest. Using first-principles quantum dynamics ...

It’s been pretty quiet around the n n-Café lately! I’ve been plenty busy myself: Lisa and I just drove back from DC to Riverside with stops at Roanoke, Nashville, Hot Springs, Okahoma City, Santa Rosa ...

When Roblox announced they'd be collaborating with fashion house Gucci on a collection of virtual items, not a lot of people were interested. It was brushed off as just another set of premium items - ...

Abstract: Monocrystalline metallic nanoparticles are preferable for plasmonic applications, but grow only in polyhedral shapes, which deviate from the predominantly employed spherical shape. Through ...

Carbon nanostructures containing four-membered rings are surprisingly stable, new research shows. Fullerenes contain connected five- and six-membered carbon rings that allow the surface to curve and ...
