The AVS fosters a multidisciplinary environment that cuts across traditional boundaries between disciplines and is the place for exchanging ideas on latest developments in science and technology of materials, interfaces and processing. The technical program covers not only the state-of-the-art in science and technology of measurement, manipulation and processing of material surfaces and interfaces but also the gamut of fundamental concepts for understanding properties of these surfaces and interfaces for the purpose of manufacturing novel devices with high-impact applications.
Researchers have shown that 'bite-defects' in graphene nanoribbons can disrupt their electronic transport but also yield spin-polarized currents.
Researchers used computational models to understand how tungsten oxide catalysts interact with hydrogen at the molecular level.
