The researchers deployed a special quantum effect called the two-photon spin-exchange Auger process to produce hot electrons far more efficiently than before. This process allows two low-energy ...

Optical contact bonding is used in the optical industry, for example, to attach prisms precisely and with a small angle angle to a glass tool. This achieves small angular errors.

Mitochondria are cell organelles surrounded by a double membrane. In addition to numerous essential functions in the ...

Researchers have chemically linked 2D materials using a molecular "velcro," resulting in a device with improved optoelectronic properties. The device, made of palladium nanosheets covalently ...

These strong chemical bonds help PFAS resist degradation. We published this work in Nature in November 2024, and we hope this technique could help address the widespread contamination these substances ...

The material contains 100 trillion chemical bonds per square centimeter (around 650 trillion per square inch), which is the highest density of mechanical bonds ever achieved, the researchers ...

The team from the University of California, Los Angeles, showed how it is actually possible to create compounds with a special structure and pattern of molecular bonds that was long deemed impossible.

Forty years after scientists discovered methods for creating mechanical molecular bonds, experts have created a mechanically interlocked 2D material that’s much stronger than Kevlar.
