Finding lubricants that work at exceptionally high temperatures challenges researchers and industries alike. A Virginia Tech ...

However, oxides with transition metals that straddle the subtle boundary between covalent, ionic and metallic bonding show copious physical phenomena, ranging from high-T c superconductivity in ...

In a new study, Professor Hui Wei and coworkers have introduced a predictive descriptor—t2 occupancy—to guide the design of ...

This review summarizes the catalytic performance of various metal-based catalysts in the CO2-assisted oxidative dehydrogenation of light alkanes, with the goal of identifying catalyst systems that ...

has observed an odd quantum phase transition in indium oxide films. In their study published in the journal Nature Physics, the group used microwave spectroscopy to study the internal properties ...

Virginia Tech researchers discovered spinel oxides formed on nickel-chromium superalloys as a self-lubricating material ...
