Silicon — An element of surprise
Could a new understanding of silicon surfaces someday revolutionize semiconductor technologies?
What would a room temperature superconductor mean for the energy sector?
While superconductors are not considered an energy material, the energy savings arising from resistance-free transmission and distribution of electricity are potentially massive when considered on a global scale.
Imagining how “synthetic topology” could reform carbon dioxide catalysis
Solid-state physicists and materials chemists are now in excellent “shape” to expand and accelerate their explorations of the science of topological materials for a wide range of possible applications.
