AUGUST 20, 2021 — Carbon exhibits a vast variety of allotropic forms stemming from its different chemical bonding motifs - from well-known graphite and diamond, to fullerenes and carbon nanotubes build of nanometer-sized structural units. In this row diamond possesses a “special” place being the hardest known natural material on Earth. This status-quo remained until a research team from Yanshan...

SEPTEMBER 16, 2021 — The correlation between superconductivity and a disordered structure is an interesting and challenging topic in condensed matter physics. Although scientists discovered amorphous superconductors as early as 1954, their superconducting mechanism has remained mysterious due to their complex chemical and structural disorder, and limited investigative experimental techniques under...

SEPTEMBER 2, 2021 — Semiconductors were widely used in manufacturing chops, solar cells, photovoltaic devices and so on, which have defined the third industrial revolution since the late 1900s. Although a large number of semiconductor materials are in production, people are still seeking new semiconductor materials with higher energy conversion efficiency. Choices for environmentally friendly and ...

SEPTEMBER 6, 2021 — In a truly international effort, a team of scientists based in Japan, Australia, UK, USA and China have uncovered the high-pressure behavior of hydrogen chloride (HCl). The project, which was led by Dr. Philip Dalladay-Simpson of HPSTAR, details the significant role that hydrogen still plays even after the pressure-induced symmetrisation of the hydrogen bond in HCl. The team’s...
