The improvement of thermoelectric materials that can directly convert wasted heat to electric energy may lead to one of the solutions for energy issues. For high performance in thermoelectric ...

Scientists at IMDEA Nanociencia are working on the development of materials whose properties can change as easily as we flip a switch. They focus on joining molecular switching (spin transition), ...

A nanostructured material is nowadays a broad term used to refer to materials that have been either patterned or have structural features in the nanometer (nm) scale. The second approach is the one ...

Researchers recently introduced a new approach to fabricating high-performance carbon nanofibers (CNFs) in the journal Microsystems & Nanoengineering. The method combines additive nanostructuring with ...

The interaction of energetic ions with solid surfaces underpins a growing array of nanostructuring techniques that exploit both kinetic and potential energy deposition to sculpt material features at ...

A nanostructuring processing route that leads to submicrometre grains and nanometric oxide particles uniformly distributed within the grains' interior is used to fabricate molybdenum alloys that have ...

The improvement of thermoelectric materials that can directly convert wasted heat to electric energy may lead to one of the solutions for energy issues. Researchers proposed a unique nanostructure and ...
