Future devices will continue to probe the frontier of the very small, and at scales where functionality depends on mere atoms, even the tiniest flaw matters. Researchers at Rice University have shown ...
Understanding the properties of different materials is an important step in material design. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is an important technique for this, as it reveals detailed insights ...

New research offers an enhanced understanding of common defects in transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) -- a potential replacement for silicon in computer chips -- and lays the foundation for ...
In the natural world, many things come in mirror-image pairs. Your left and right hands are a perfect example—they look alike but can’t be perfectly superimposed. This idea, called chirality or ...
Material science, at its core, is an interdisciplinary field focusing on the discovery and design of new materials. It combines elements of physics, chemistry and engineering to understand and ...
