The mechanical strength and toughness of engineering materials are often mutually exclusive, posing challenges for material ...

Managing radioactive waste is one of the core challenges in the use of nuclear energy. In particular, radioactive iodine ...

When you fill up your car at the pump, you probably don’t think much about the tank holding all that fuel. Yet the design and materials used for fuel tanks significantly impact your vehicle’s safety, ...

Two-dimensional materials have recently garnered much interest in the scientific and technology communities. This Review describes how ultrathin transition metal dichalcogenides combine tunable ...

Sodium-containing transition-metal layered oxides are promising electrode materials for sodium-ion batteries, a potential alternative to lithium-ion batteries. However, the vast number of possible ...

Investigating the interplay between the structure of water molecules that have been incorporated into layered materials such as clays and the configuration of ions in such materials has long ...

When metal ions migrate so quickly across metal surfaces, it means that it is advisable to intersperse the active material with a metallic motorway network for ion transport. This is exactly what ...
