Creating perfect edges in 2D-materials
IMAGE: Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology present a method to finely control the edges of two-dimensional materials, by using a ‘magic’ chemical – hydrogen peroxide. view more Credit: Alexander Ericson/Yen Strandqvist/Chalmers University of Technology Ultrathin materials such as graphene promise a revolution in nanoscience and technology. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have now …
Ultra-soft, liquid magnetic droplets could vault technology forward
IMAGE: Three liquid magnets float in the oil phase, spinning and dancing with each other in the rotating external magnetic field. Red dye records the track induced by flowing vortex. view more Credit: Berkeley National Lab/Xubo Liu AMHERST, Mass. – Conventional magnets are hard and rigid but have made great contributions to society and to modern …
