New blue quantum dot technology, locate defects on microchips, and other materials stories that may be of interest for November 9, 2022.
Read MoreThe use of data-driven methods to tailor the growth characteristics, stability, and mechanical properties of M7C3-type carbides is hindered by ambiguity surrounding the carbide’s structure. To overcome this uncertainty, researchers from the United States and Israel used a variety of imaging techniques to reveal the atomistic structure of M7C3 carbides.

Read MoreTo describe electronic charge transport in oxides, researchers rely on a small-polaron transport model that was developed six decades ago for binary oxides rather than higher-order systems. Researchers from Cornell University and Technion–Israel Institute of Technology have now updated the model with additional parameters to more accurately model complex oxide systems.
