MXenes (pronounced like the name "Maxine") are a class of two-dimensional materials, first identified just 14 years ago, with remarkable potential for energy storage, catalysts, ultrastrong ...

(Nanowerk News) Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are materials that have gained significant attention in the field of energy due to their unique characteristics, like a high specific surface area, ...

The underlying mechanism improving piezoelectricity via interfacial polarization is elucidated through combining the experimental results, molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory ...

A recent discovery by materials science researchers in Drexel University’s College of Engineering might one day prevent electronic devices and components from going haywire when they’re too close to ...

The image on the left shows the flaky structure of the MXene sample under a scanning electron microscope. The image on the right shows the resulting composite material after cobalt and iron were ...

A new method in spectromicroscopy significantly improves the study of chemical reactions at the nanoscale, both on surfaces and inside layered materials. Scanning X-ray microscopy (SXM) at MAXYMUS ...
