"We point out how it's important to know exactly the underlying grain structure of crystal particles that are being studied. If you're collecting the emission from the whole particle and you have ...

A new study in Nano-Micro Letters by scientists from the University of Science and Technology of China and the Shenyang National Laboratory for Materials Science reports a major leap in photodetector ...

Carbon has numerous allotropes owing to its ability to form various bonds through orbital hybridization. Among all the allotropes, graphite and diamond (with sp 2 and sp 3 hybridization, respectively) ...

A nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center is a flaw in the diamond crystal structure that occurs when an adjacent lattice site becomes unoccupied and a nitrogen atom takes the place of a carbon atom. Researchers ...
