Oxygen vacancy distributions and dynamics directly control the operation of solid-oxide fuel cells and are intrinsically coupled with magnetic, electronic and transport properties of oxides. For ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio - When it comes to the fundamentals of making better materials - stronger-but-thinner glass for televisions or phone screens, for example - it almost always comes down to the building ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 210, No. 1101 (Dec. 20, 1951), pp. 224-245 (22 pages) Energies of excitation of different electronic ...

Researchers discover that embedding iridium atoms inside catalyst crystals instead of on the surface dramatically improves ...

A turning point in the history of life occurred two to three billion years ago with the unprecedented appearance and dramatic rise of molecular oxygen. Now researchers report they have identified an ...

The oxygen content of seawater has a profound impact on the cycling of bioessential elements and the habitability of Earth. But how and why the marine oxygen landscape (i.e., the spatial pattern of ...

Scientists have been studying the behavior of iron oxide surfaces. The atomic structure of iron oxide, which had been assumed to be well-established, turned out to be wrong. The behavior of iron oxide ...
