Researchers have demonstrated a new technique for precisely controlling phase boundaries in thin film materials by manipulating the thickness of those films—allowing them to engineer energy storage ...

An international research team reported the first realization of single-crystalline T-Nb2O5 thin films having two-dimensional (2D) vertical ionic transport channels, which results in a fast and ...

A recent study published in Scientific Reports examines how metallic thin films, specifically cobalt layers used in hard disk drives (HDDs), can be modified to improve their performance and ...

An international team finds new single-crystalline oxide thin films with fast and dramatic changes in electrical properties via Li-ion intercalation through engineered ionic transport channels. These ...

Since the 1940s, scientists have been exploring the use of niobium oxide, specifically a form of niobium oxide known as T-Nb2O5, to create more efficient batteries. This unique material is known for ...
