Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) are tiny carbon-based nanomaterials that have attracted increasing attention as environmentally ...

Atomic vacancies are a type of point defect in a crystal lattice where one or more atoms are absent from their regular lattice positions. Although they might seem like simple imperfections, these ...

The physical and chemical properties of ceramics provide engineering opportunities in various applications. Ceramics vary widely in hardness, some relatively soft and others exceptionally hard.

image: Defect engineering is an effective strategy to modify 2D materials for enhanced HER activity. By structuring edge defects, vacancy defects and dopant derived defects, the electronic structure ...

Layered semiconductors have recently emerged as capable host materials for novel quantum applications ranging from photonics to sensing. Most studies have focused on artificial layered materials, ...

Monash University researchers in Australia have used a combination of atomic-scale imaging and simulations to improve the understanding of the theta-prime strengthening phase in the aluminium copper ...
