Plasma oxidation technique yields precise control over mixed metal oxide composition
Mixed metal oxide alloys play an important role as substrates and catalysts for many energy conversion and storage applications. Until now, making multi-element solid solutions with precise compositions has eluded current synthesis techniques. Continue reading
Directional freeze-casting method produces highly structured metal foams by ice-templating
The key to producing an anisotropic tungsten metal foam is starting with a non-metallic oxide powder, and reducing it to metal before densifying the final structure. Continue reading
Simple Technique Produces Pure, High-Quality Nanodiamonds
Nanodiamonds, or pure diamonds with a length scale less than a micrometer, are a materials scientist’s best friend in areas such as imaging, spintronics, and quantum computing. Now, researchers have overcome key challenges and developed a straightforward way of producing extremely … Continue reading
