Recent experiments reported a substantial strengthening of cubic boron nitride by nanotwinning. This discovery raises fundamental questions about new atomistic mechanisms governing incipient ...

Nanoscale electron transfer (ET) in solids is fundamental to the development of multifunctional materials. However, ET in solids is not yet clearly understood. Now, researchers achieved a direct ...

(a) Schematic of imine bond formation. (b) The building block molecules chosen in this work (R: polyethylene glycol chain) and the construction of an extended network by imine bond formations through ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at Tokyo Institute of Technology for the first time discovered the selective generation of three types of structural isomers (a set of different nanostructures with an ...

· The directional- and strong-bonding yields materials that are rigid and hard, with high melting points. The low melting points of polymers come from the secondary bonds linking the polymer chains.

In a recent study, scientists from Tokyo University created zinc-based double-walled crystalline nanotubes using a brand-new supramolecular crystallization technique that entails oxidation-based ...
