A study from MANA presents a new method to decode hidden material disorder in complex photoluminescence spectra, revealing a hierarchy of disorder in moiré heterostructures. The approach hints at a practical way to diagnose material quality issues directly from optical data.
Researchers at MANA discovered that atomic-scale steps can guide superconducting vortices, moving them 1,000 times more easily along the steps than across them. This finding opens possibilities for controlling vortex motion and heat flow in future superconducting technologies.
A new study by MANA demonstrates that strongly correlated insulators can behave differently, allowing spin and charge excitations to exist independently. This enables the creation of new electronic modes that actively modify band structures under external stimuli.
Researchers at Materials Nanoarchitectonics (MANA) propose a novel strategy for controlling tiny droplets on surfaces, reducing friction and enabling precise control. The study demonstrates that particle-coated droplets can move with reduced force, opening new avenues in micro-scale systems and applications.
Researchers from MANA develop a cost-effective, high-performance catalyst using green rust to support the use of sodium borohydride as a hydrogen storage material. The new catalyst achieves comparable performance to precious metal-based materials and shows excellent durability.
