Hydrogen is considered an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional fossil fuels. Until now, expensive and rare substances such as platinum have been needed for its catalytic production, ...

Engineers have developed a record-setting nanomaterial which when stretched in one direction, expands perpendicular to the applied force. It is a common hack to stretch a balloon out to make it easier ...

Phase transformations—in which a material changes from one crystal structure to another, thereby acquiring dramatically different properties—are ubiquitous in nature. Understanding the microscopic ...

Nanostructured two-dimensional gold monolayers offer possibilities in catalysis, electronics, and nanotechnology. Nanostructured two-dimensional gold monolayers offer possibilities in catalysis, ...
