电子液晶:所以的关键因素lving a long-standing mystery of the high-temperature superconductivity
The phases of matter are characterized by the symmetries inherent to each state. Imagine the freezing from water to ice. This phase transition is accompanied by the crystallization of H2O molecules, forming a periodic structure in a lattice.
Granular aluminum oxide thin films for quantum technologies: electric transport and noise properties
Quantum computation is one of the most attracting research fields, due to the possibility of implementing computational machines much more performant than classical computers. In the last yeas, great progresses have been achieved both from a theoretical
9th International Conference on Smart Materials and Structures. Zurich, Switzerland. June 22-23, 2020
Theme: Unveiling the Advancements in Material Science and Engineering It takes pleasure in inviting the scientific community across the globe to attend the 9th International Conference on Smart Materials and Structures during June 22-23, 2020 at Zurich,
Anion exchange in water: a simple way to complex and greener thermoelectrics
The need to convert and store energy in an efficient and sustainable way has already become one of the highest priorities of the new millennium. One possible solution to this challenge is the thermoelectric, which can be
European Forum on Dentistry and Dental Materials. Paris, France. September 04-05, 2019
LONGDOM proffers our immense pleasure and honor in extending you a warm invitation to attend “European Forum on Dentistry and Dental Materials” to be held during September 04-05, 2019 in Paris, France. Dental MAT 2019 is focusing
DIY materials will allow scientists and engineers to re-make the world
Human development has been based on making the best possible use of natural materials and resources – initially plants, wood, stone and metals, before the evolution of man-made materials such as plastics. All of these kinds of
Stanford team brings quantum computing closer to reality with new materials
Quantum computing could outsmart current computing for complex problem solving, but only if scientists figure out how to make it practical. A Stanford team is investigating new materials that could become the basis for such an advance.
Predicting the properties of materials: Stepping into the unknown
To use a material, one needs to know and understand its properties – its density, its hardness, its strength, etc. – and the relation of the relevant properties to the desired application. Those properties listed above are
Just add water; boiling up high-performing thermoelectrics
Thermoelectric materials can realise direct conversion from thermal to electrical energy and offer unique opportunities to harvest useful electricity from waste heat. Tin selenide (SnSe) is one of the best thermoelectrics currently known as it combines an
White light emissive molecular siblings
Human eye is capable of detecting only a relatively tiny part of the electromagnetic spectrum. However limited our vision might be, it is filled with the experiences of numerous colors, colors that control our emotional responses. White-light
Lithium ion intercalation for boosting photoelectrochemical water splitting performance of TiO2 photoelectrode
Energy shortage and environmental pollution inspire the exploration of clean, renewable, and non-fossil energy carriers. Hydrogen, as “the world’s cleanest energy” because of its raw materials and products are water, and high energy content per unit mass
Materials for tomorrow: right next to us!
The idea of an artificial device able to help human parts to regenerate or to replace entirely one of the body functions attracted the attention of research teams around the world. During recent years, a route of
A new phase change material for thermal energy storage
The technologies currently used to generate energy through renewable sources such as solar, wind and biomass are still characterized by high costs and insufficient continuity of generation. Such sources will therefore continue to have a secondary role
New materials challenge well-established theory of crystal growth
The classical theory of crystal growth was established over a century ago and is still used today to describe the formation of crystals with highly symmetrical shapes. This theory explains that crystals start as a single seed
Transparent coatings and see-through materials from heating
Many modern technologies are based on materials that are deposited on special underlying materials. Optical coatings can prevent tarnishing, give anti-reflection benefits, and in some cases filter out harmful UV rays. In consumer devices, many modern optoelectronic
Measuring what cells feel using the nano-epsilon dot method
When we walk on the sand, a trampoline or a concrete pavement, we can feel the hardness, softness and springiness of the ground and respond by changing the way we move. The way we respond depends on
A new technology welcomes you in smudge-free world
Windows, walls, and automobile interior repelling smudge are no longer a dream. A new paint has been invented at Queen’s University (Kingston, Ontario, Canada), which will reduce fingerprints deposition on glass, prevent graffiti/acid rain from historical statutes,
