A new study reveals that highly disordered indium oxide superconductors undergo a first-order quantum phase transition — a sudden shift from a superconducting to an insulating state. This finding is ...

In recent years, high-entropy carbide ceramics have received extensive attention and become another research focus in the high entropy materials field, which are also known as multi-component carbide ...

Superionic water—the hot, black and strangely conductive form of ice that exists in the center of distant planets—was ...

Elevating the sintering temperature from 850 to 900°C transform the lithium-manganese-rich cathode from solid-solution structure to chemical separated two-phase structure, which is triggered by the ...
