(Phys.org) —Using an ink containing tiny graphene flakes, scientists have inkjet-printed graphene patterns that can be used for printing finely detailed, highly conductive electrodes. Although inkjet-printed graphene has ...
In quantum materials based on transition metals, rare-earth and actinide elements, electronic states are characterized by electrons in orbitals d and f, combined with the solid's strong band formation. Until now, to estimate ...
When we listen to our favorite song, what sounds like a continuous wave of music is actually transmitted as tiny packets of quantum particles called phonons.
