In transition metals, it is known that magnetic anisotropy, a very weak effect in bulk materials, may become orders of magnitude stronger under inhomogeneous situations such as at surfaces, in ...

Researchers at Wright State University have helped pave the way for expanded applications of graphene in everything from space exploration to all-weather sensors. The research was conducted by Elliott ...

Monatomic glassy antimony might be used as a new type of single-element phase change memory. This is the new finding from researchers at IBM Research-Zurich and RWTH Aachen University who say that ...

Precisely quantifying metal oxide samples’ chemical compositions with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) may be adversely impacted by adventitious carbon contamination, which is often found on the ...
