Metals are known to exhibit mechanical behaviour at the nanoscale different to bulk samples. This transition typically initiates at the micrometre scale, yet existing techniques to produce ...

Stacking ultrathin complex oxide single-crystal layers allows researchers to create new structures with hybrid properties and multiple functions. Now, using a new platform, researchers will be able to ...

Jeff Dahn's battery lab at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada, known for its Tesla ties, is working on a new Li-ion battery chemistry. The new battery cell will use a single-crystal, cobalt-free ...

MADISON, Wis. -- The magnetic, conductive and optical properties of complex oxides make them key to components of next-generation electronics used for data storage, sensing, energy technologies, ...
