Used as a versatile material in industry and health care, magnesium oxide may also be a good candidate for quantum technologies. Research led by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National ...

Researchers have found a new way to synthesize graphene oxide which has significantly fewer defects compared to materials produced by most common method. Similarly good graphene oxide could be ...

Strontium titanate is a material of considerable interest for electronic applications. A recent study revealed that strontium titanate (STO) annealed in strontium oxide (SrO) powder exhibits large ...

Tungsten oxide – when applied as a thin film nanostructure – is an important advanced material used by optics and electronics industries. Research published in February 2021 laid out a deposition ...

A research team based in China and the United States has developed electroactive polymer zwitterions to modify zinc oxide interlayers in organic solar cells. Their work was found to passivate defects ...

(Nanowerk News) Calcium oxide is a cheap, chalky chemical compound commonly used in the manufacturing of cement, plaster, paper, and steel. But the material may soon have a more high-tech application.

(Nanowerk News) Graphene oxide is often used to produce graphene by removing oxygen. However, if you have holes in graphene oxide, you have holes also after converting it into graphene. Therefore, the ...
