An experiment at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator demonstrates the potential of a novel metamaterial structure to yield higher accelerating gradients than current particle accelerator technology provides.

In a Nature Communications article, a team led by Center for Nanoscale Materials researchers introduces a machine learning workflow of models for water transformations that increases accuracy at lower computational cost.

Two new methods reduce noise and remove errors in quantum observables by focusing on individual noise sources. They add little qubit overhead and can be used in quantum sensing and general quantum experimentation, as well as quantum computing.

Using a single actuation signal, a frequency comb is generated in a micromechanical resonator from two vibrational modes, flexural and torsional, whose interactions are responsible for the unique response.

In a study published in Nano Letters, researchers highlight the versatility of the Si-BP material platform for creating optically active devices in integrated silicon chips.

In a study published in Science, researchers describe a method of preparing highly active yet stable electrocatalysts containing ultralow Pt content using Co or Co/Zn zeolitic imidazolate frameworks.

In a study published in the American Physical Society, the superallowed α decay chain 108Xe-104Te-100Sn into the self-conjugate doubly magic 100Sn nucleus was observed.

In a study published in Science, researchers’ findings enable a broad exploration of synthetic 2D polymer structures and properties. This work was a multidisciplinary team effort including DOE’s CNM and APS user facilities at Argonne.

In a recent study published in Nature, researchers from Argonne’s CNM working with Brown University have packed non-spherical nanocrystals into complex superstructures – including some with chirality.

In a recent study published in ACS Nano, researchers advanced the current understanding of defect structure/evolution and structural transitions in 2D TMDs, which is crucial for designing nanoscale devices with desired functionality.
