Solid-state electrolytes have been explored for decades for use in energy storage systems and in the pursuit of solid-state batteries. These materials are safer alternatives to the traditional liquid ...

Placing materials under extremely strong magnetic fields can give rise to unusual and fascinating physical phenomena or behavior. Specifically, studies show that under magnetic fields above 100 tesla ...

People who investigate scientific topics either love or hate glass, which is a confusing none-of-the-above unicorn: neither fully liquid nor fully solid, exhibiting some properties of each, but ...

Researchers have uncovered compelling evidence about the elusive structure of a high-pressure phase of solid nitrogen.

A visual breakdown of how humidity triggers a total structural overhaul in new peptide materials, moving from a stiff honeycomb (left) to soft layers (right) without losing material integrity. NEW ...
