Researchers unveil a chemistry playbook to turn stubborn MAX phases into tunable 2D materials, blending MXene and dichalcogenide traits for energy storage and catalysis. Structural editing strategy ...

Since their discovery in 1982, exotic materials known as quasicrystals have bedeviled physicists and chemists. Their atoms arrange themselves into chains of pentagons, decagons and other shapes to ...

We report an investigation of the magnetic, thermodynamic, and transport properties of single-crystalline Nd3⁢ScBi5 and Pr3⁡ScBi5. Both compounds crystallize in the hexagonal 𝑃⁢63/𝑚⁢𝑐⁢𝑚 space ...
