Phosphine ligands modify the structure of metal nanoclusters in a top-down evolutionary process by "peeling" and "etching.” This phosphine-LEIST reaction allows the construction of metal nanoclusters ...
New research shows that the electronic structure of metals can strongly affect their mechanical properties. New research from the University of Birmingham shows that the electronic structure of metals ...
Scanning tunneling microscope image of wide-band metallic graphene nanoribbon (GNR). Each cluster of protrusions corresponds to a singly-occupied electron orbital. The formation of a pentagonal ring ...
A group of scientists examined a novel way of altering the architectures of ultra-small nanomaterials. These metal nanoclusters bridge the gap between the metal atom and the bulk metal, making them ...
Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...
A new technical paper titled “Liquid Metal Fluidic Connection and Floating Die Structure for Ultralow Thermomechanical Stress of SiC Power Electronics Packaging” was published by researchers at ...
Metal alloys crack and fail through a mechanism called "fatigue" when repeatedly loaded and strained. While it is well known how to design alloys to withstand static loads and pressures, it is very ...
