Researchers have synthesised a metallic compound that mimics the functions of superoxide dismutase (SOD), a metal-based enzyme known to protect cells by removing oxygen free radicals in the tissues of ...

A new metallic compound has shattered a long standing barrier in heat management, conducting thermal energy nearly three times faster than the best conventional metals. The material, a special form of ...

Brake pads look like a simple wear item, but the material you choose quietly reshapes how your car stops, how often you visit the shop, and even how dirty your wheels get. The real tradeoff between ...

“We proved the existence of a new class of quantum materials that are both metallic and one-dimensional magnets, with strong coupling between the magnetic moments and their metallic host,” said UBC ...

While the wheel does not need to be reinvented, the development of new nano-wheels has its advantages, according to a multi-institute research team located in China. The researchers created a new ...

The top picture shows the molecular structure of ferrocene-based metallic compound (FcTc2) and its application in perovskite solar cells. The bottom picture shows the working mechanism of the ...

Why it matters: For more than a century, copper and silver have set the standard for thermal conductivity in metals. A new study by UCLA engineers and their collaborators challenges that assumption, ...

A team of physicists in New York has discovered a material that conducts electricity with perfect efficiency at room temperature—a long-sought scientific milestone. The hydrogen, carbon, and sulfur ...

THE interchange of heavy atoms in organo-metallic compounds, reported by Mrs. Leigh-Smith and Dr. Richardson 1, using the radioactive indicator method, is in line with work done by Hilpert and ...

A study has found a rare form of one-dimensional quantum magnetism in a metallic compound, offering evidence into a phase space that has remained, until now, largely theoretical. The study comes at a ...
