In a recent review article published in Materials, researchers provided an in-depth examination of nanoscale metallic multilayers (NMMs) and their composites (NMMCs), which consist of alternating ...

Metallic glasses are amorphous solids formed by cooling a metallic melt fast enough to avoid crystallization. First reported in 1960 (Ref. 1), metallic glasses are now known to form at very many ...

Graphene nanoribbon Scanning tunnelling microscope image of a wide-band metallic graphene nanoribbon (GNR). Each cluster of protrusions corresponds to a singly occupied electron orbital. The formation ...

Under normal conditions, pure water is an almost perfect insulator. Water only develops metallic properties under extreme pressure, such as exists deep inside of large planets. Now, an international ...

Polymers are lightweight, flexible, solution-processable materials that are promising for low-cost printed electronics as well as for mass-produced and large-area applications. Previous studies ...
