Experimental physicists have demonstrated a new quantum effect aptly named the 'spinaron.' In a meticulously controlled environment and using an advanced set of instruments, they managed to prove the ...

Using solar energy to convert CO 2 into synthetic fuels is currently one of the most promising technologies to achieve carbon neutrality with the embedment of sustainable energy into our modern ...

Researchers create cobalt single-atom catalysts in porous carbon nanofibers to speed redox reactions and stop polysulfide loss, improving lithium sulfur battery performance. (Nanowerk News) ...

This illustration depicts dioxygen-bridged cobalt dual-atom sites embedded in hierarchically porous carbon nanospheres, enabling highly efficient four-electron oxygen reduction electrocatalysis via a ...

Researchers have long used scanning tunnelling microscopes (STMs) to move single atoms around on the surface of material with atomic-scale precision — allowing them to make nanometre-scale structures ...

The cobalt atom (red) has a magnetic moment (“spin,” blue arrow ), which is constantly reoriented (from spin-up to spin-down) by an external magnetic field. As a result, the magnetic atom excites the ...
