X-ray study sheds light on cost-effective fuel cell materials
Fuel cells efficiently convert hydrogen and oxygen directly into electricity, with catalysts playing a crucial role in accelerating the process. Platinum has long been the preferred catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction due to its efficiency and durability, but its high cost limits widespread adoption.
Structural evolution of the kagome superconductors through charge density wave order
A new paper appearing in Physical Review Materials, by a team from UCSB, Argonne National Lab, and Cornell, sheds new light on the structural evolution of kagome superconductors during CDW formation.
Unconventional Hysteretic Transition in a Charge Density Wave
In a new paper appearing in Physical Review Letters, research co-first-authored by postdoctoral fellows claim that EuTe4 sets a new record for hysteresis in a crystalline solid.
