Scientists have demonstrated for the first time that interlayer coupling in a van der Waals (vdW) material can be largely modulated by a protonic gate, 'injecting' protons into the device. The same ...

This, and six other questions about a recent first in physics, answered. A UT-led team observed an interlayer skyrmion—a swirling pattern of electric dipoles in an ultrathin material—for the first ...

Materials scientists showed that fine-tuning interlayer interactions in a class of 2D polymers can determine the materials' loss or retention of desirable mechanical properties in multilayer or bulk ...

A battery layer reduces pressure in solid-state batteries, improves ion flow, increases energy density, and supports battery life.

Three years ago, the City of Dubuque Engineering and River City Paving (RCP) ventured forth to try a new construction method on busy Central Ave., an arterial street in downtown Dubuque, IA. Faced ...

Aluminum-coated polymer satellite insulation gains durability via ultrathin 5-nanometer interlayer, with potential uses in flexible electronics and medical sensors. As its widespread use indicates, ...

Researchers at Korea's KERI have developed a nano-tin interlayer that stabilizes the interface between lithium metal anodes and solid electrolytes, a key challenge for all-solid-state batteries. The ...
