Since their discovery at Drexel University in 2011, MXenes — a family of nanomaterials with unique properties of durability, conductivity and filtration, among many others — has become the largest ...

Entropy fascinates because it announces itself. It spreads, decays and disperses. It makes noise. Like Kali, it is dramatic, uncompromising and impossible to ignore. Earlier, i wrote about Kali and ...

In biophysics, the kinetic states of molecules play a determining role in the metabolic and physiological processes in which they take part. Now, a new article specifies for the first time the levels ...

Configuration transitions of individual molecules and atoms on surfaces are traditionally described using an Arrhenius equation with energy barrier and pre-exponential factor (attempt rate) parameters ...

Researchers create MXenes with up to nine metals, uncovering how atomic order and disorder shape the future of high-performance 2D materials. (Nanowerk News) Two-dimensional nanomaterials only a few ...

Physicists have upended a foundational law of materials science by heating gold to over 19,000°C — more than 14 times its melting point — while it remained perfectly solid. The study, published in ...

Babak Anasori is the Reilly Rising Star Associate Professor in the Schools of Materials Engineering and Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University. His research group studies MXenes (pronounced ...
