Two-dimensional (2D) materials are a class of materials that have only two dimensions, with atoms arranged in a single layer. This makes them incredibly thin, with thicknesses that can be measured in…
Researchers grow high quality superconductor, find resilience against magnetic fields
Researchers have demonstrated the ability to grow high-quality thin films of a recently discovered superconductor material called potassium tantalate (KTaO3). The researchers also discovered that the material retains its superconductive characteristics even…

MIT engineers create an energy-storing supercapacitor from ancient materials
MIT engineers have created a “supercapacitor” made of ancient, abundant materials, that can store large amounts of energy. Made of just cement, water, and carbon black (which resembles powdered charcoal), the device…
Researchers Create Highly Conductive Metallic Gel for 3D Printing
Researchers have developed a metallic gel that is highly electrically conductive and can be used to print three-dimensional (3D) solid objects at room temperature. The researcher says that 3D printing has revolutionized…
