Scientists at the Delft University of Technology have developed a new amorphous version of silicon carbide that exhibits extraordinary tensile strength. This material, which lacks a structured crystalline lattice, can…
Researchers have successfully synthesized graphullerene, a new two-dimensional form of carbon that links fullerene molecules into a stable sheet. This material combines the structural benefits of graphene with the unique…
Researchers from KAUST and HZB have achieved a record-breaking 33.7% power conversion efficiency for perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells. This breakthrough surpasses the theoretical limit of traditional single-junction silicon cells, signaling…
Diamond Foundry has produced the first 100mm single-crystal diamond wafers using a heteroepitaxy process. This breakthrough addresses thermal management issues in semiconductors, offering a material with five times the thermal…
Researchers identified Davemaoite, a high-pressure calcium silicate perovskite, within a diamond from the Earth's lower mantle. This discovery, made using samples from Brazil, provides the first direct evidence of a…
Researchers at IBM’s Almaden lab have discovered a new class of thermoset polymers called polyhexahydrotriazines (PHTs). These materials combine extreme strength and self-healing properties with the ability to be chemically…
An international research team has successfully synthesized ultra-hard carbon nitrides, a class of materials predicted in 1989 to rival diamond in hardness. By subjecting carbon and nitrogen to pressures exceeding…
Researchers at Northwestern University have developed a wireless, battery-free pacemaker that is fully absorbed by the body after its job is done. Made from biocompatible materials like magnesium and tungsten,…
Geologists in northern Israel have discovered a new mineral named Carmeltazite, which was previously only observed in extraterrestrial environments. Found within volcanic rocks near Mt. Carmel, the mineral's unique chemical…
