To design a catalyst (or ‘promoter’) with these factors in mind, we developed a unique chemical approach to fabricate the pyrochlore into a porous framework, which we describe herein. This new ...

Frustrated quantum magnets not only provide exotic ground states and unusual magnetic structures, but also support unconventional excitations in many cases. Using a physically relevant spin model for ...

Scottish sports journalist and content creator. After running his own soccer-related projects, in 2022 he joined Diario AS, where he mainly reports on the biggest news from around Europe’s leading ...

A research collaboration has created a pyrochlore magnet alloy with near-zero thermal expansion, outperforming Invar. This breakthrough, based on advanced computer simulations, stabilizes materials ...

Figure one shows the pyrochlore lattice structure of spin ice and spins on a tetrahedron. The left shows Pyrochlore lattice structure. Each lattice point (red) hosts an electron spin. The right shows ...

Most metals expand when their temperature rises. This effect is extremely undesirable for many technical applications. Now, scientists have created a new material that hardly changes in length over an ...

All-solid-state lithium-ion batteries offer enhanced safety and energy density compared to liquid electrolyte counterparts, but face challenges like lower conductivity and insufficient electrode ...

Most metals expand when their temperature rises. The Eiffel Tower, for example, is around 10 to 15 centimetres taller in summer than in winter due to its thermal expansion. However, this effect is ...
