Controlling the Size, Composition and Dispersion of Metal Nanoparticles

by

Nano-engineered oxides are very important for the development of next-generation catalysts and microelectronics. Recently, metal exsolution from oxides has emerged as a promising nano-structuring tool to fabricate nanoparticle-decorated oxides. However, controlling the size, density, composition, and location of exsolved nanoparticles remains a challenge, limiting the ultimate performance achievable by these nanostructures. The following nanoparticle production …

Quantum Battery Charging Improved

by

Batteries that exploit quantum phenomena to gain, distribute and store power promise to beat conventional chemical batteries in certain low-power applications. University of Tokyo and other researchers have takne advantage of an unintuitive quantum process that disregards the conventional notion of causality to improve the performance of so-called quantum batteries. Quantum batteries are still laboratory …
