Strange metals discovered in Monte Carlo

Using Monte Carlo calculations, scientists have observed the strange metal state in the Hubbard model of materials with strongly correlated electrons.

Cobalt uncovers secret signs in iron-containing superconductor

By adding cobalt impurities, researchers have observed a surprising quantum effect in a high-temperature iron-containing superconductor.

Carbon nanotube composites cut CO2 emissions

CNTs produced from CO2 using low-energy chemical processes drastically reduce emissions associated with construction materials

New dealloying method produces sponge-like metal materials

Scientists have developed a new approach for making metal-metal composites and porous metals with a ‘bicontinuous’ structure in thin films.

Storing renewable energy even when there is no sun or wind

New class of polymers brings cheaper grid batteries

Cooper pairs responsible for superconductor acting like a regular metal

The electron pairs responsible for the abilities of superconductors can also conduct electricity with some amount of resistance, like metals do.

Heat is on for new thermoelectric material

Applying a thin layer of iron, vanadium, tungsten and aluminum to a silicon crystal produces a highly efficient thermoelectric material.

Unsinkable metal structure uses spider sense to stay afloat

Metal structure that is so water repellent that it won’t sink even when damaged or punctured
