One of the biggest issues facing the solid-state lithium-based batteries we all depend upon is of the performance of the anode; the transport of lithium ions and minimization of dendrite formation are ...

Solid-state batteries are often viewed as a promising path toward safer and more powerful energy storage. However, one key ...

Phonons are sound particles or quantized vibrations of atoms in solid materials. The Debye model, a theory introduced by physicist Peter Debye in 1912, describes the contribution of phonons to the ...

Imagine a liquid that flows freely one moment, then stiffens into a near-solid the next, and then can switch back with a simple change in temperature. Researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker ...

TU Wien has detected strong quantum entanglement for the first time in a centimeter-sized crystal of a strange metal.
