What will the materials powering tomorrow's clean energy systems, quantum computers, and deep-space missions actually be made of — and how do we design them? We are thrilled to share our latest featured article in The European magazine, where we explore how cutting-edge research is engineering matter at the atomic scale. From the nanolaminated MAX … Continue reading Atom-by-atom materials shaping future technology
We are pleased to share our latest research, now published in Applied Surface Science. This study led by Ahmad Alem explores the use of radio frequency (RF) oxygen plasma as a powerful tool for functionalising the surface of carbon felts – materials with significant potential in energy storage, catalysis, and environmental technologies. By systematically varying … Continue reading Paving the Way for Hydrogen Energy with Carbon Felts
Our interview to the Brazilian newspaper "Jornal da USP" is now online! "Zip Phases," synthetic materials combining metallic and non-metallic chemical elements, could be used in the future in electronics, energy storage, superconductivity, and sensors. A new class of synthetic intermetallic materials, with unique atomic structures and physical properties offering high technological potential, has been … Continue reading “Zigzag Atoms: Scientists develop material with high technological potential” — The University of São Paulo
