A cartoon of robot-enabled inorganic materials synthesis. The robot selects powder precursors based on new criteria, mixes them by ball milling, moves them to an oven, and measures the results with ...
A new study reveals how different synthesis methods can profoundly impact the structure and function of high entropy oxides, a class of materials with applications in everyday electronic devices. A ...
Metal cluster molecules are discrete compounds containing multiple metal atoms held together by metal–metal and metal–ligand ...
The synthesis of materials can serve as a tool for developing smart, adaptive electrocatalysts. This rapidly evolving field ...
A new paper from the lab of Asst. Prof. Chibueze Amanchukwu (left) of the UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, including first author Priyadarshini Mirmira (right), demonstrates a new ...
Generative AI models have been used to create enormous libraries of theoretical materials that could help solve all kinds of problems. Now, scientists just have to figure out how to make them. In many ...
When scientists make the thin metal films used in electronics, optics and quantum technologies, they usually spend months tinkering with the temperature, composition and timing of the process, hoping ...
Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are semiconducting crystals. They exist on a nanometer scale (ca. 2–12 nm) and are coated with ligand/surfactant molecules to avoid agglomeration. Due to their size, CQDs ...
