Researchers have for the first time measured the true properties of individual MXene flakes—an exciting new nanomaterial with ...

MXene thin films deliver brighter, more tunable structural colors and a wider color range than conventional materials, ...

From solar panels to next-generation medical devices, many emerging technologies rely on materials that can manipulate light with extreme precision. These materials—called plasmonic materials—are ...

Scientists have found a way to make atoms dance with light, quite literally. In certain crystals, vibrations called phonons can now merge with light waves to form entirely new hybrid states of matter.

Until now, holograms have been created using lasers, but now researchers have used a new ensemble of components that could ...

Researchers have succeeded in forming metal-organic framework thin films on a substrate while controlling the growth direction of crystals so that they are arranged neatly without gaps. The resulting ...

In this new work, Ma's team developed amorphous OMHH films, millimeter-thin sheets of organic metal halide hybrids that can be shaped in myriad ways. These films can be readily fabricated into ...

A team at the University of St Andrews has unlocked a major step toward true holographic displays by combining OLEDs with ...
