What a dry meteorite tells us about water on Mars
Neutron and X-ray tomography show where water is bound inside a Martian meteorite – offering new insights into the early history of Mars.
Polarization contrast neutron imaging enables operando visualization of iron plating in redox flow batteries
Visualizing multiphase (solid–liquid–gas) electrochemical transformations during operation is essential to advancing sustainable energy storage technologies. All-iron redox flow batteries represent a promising candidate ...
Unraveling spin density wave order in layered nickelates La3Ni2O7 and La2PrNi2O7 via neutron diffraction
The observation of pressure-induced superconductivity in two- and three-layer Ruddlesden-Popper nickelates has spurred ...
A world-first lens brings neutrons into sharper focus
From thick samples to processes inside bulky equipment, a new type of lens opens the door to high-resolution neutron imaging of working systems.
Intricacies of frustrated magnetism in the Kondo metal YbAgGe
The combination of localized magnetic moments, their frustration and interaction with itinerant electrons is a key challenge of condensed matter physics. Frustrated magnetic interactions ...
Beyond Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya: anisotropy-driven compact spin textures for low-power spintronics
Demand for denser, lower-power data storage keeps rising, yet the metallic magnets behind most memory technologies dissipate energy through electrical currents. Magneto-electric insulators on the other hand offer an alternative...
Toward Hydrogen Isotope Separations through Strong Hydrogen Adsorption at Open Copper(I) Sites in an Ultramicroporous Metal−Organic Framework
Metal−organic frameworks with coordinatively unsaturated metal sites (open metal sites) capable of engaging in orbital interactions with π-acidic gases are of interest for enabling ambient-temperature gas separations, such as hydrogen isotope separations. In view of the weakly π-acidic nature of H2, we sought...
Surface-confined spiral state with a doubled magnetic period in Cu2OSeO3
Magnetism in solid materials originates from tiny atomic “compasses” called electron spins. In many magnetically ordered compounds, these spins simply align parallel or antiparallel to each other. However, in more complex systems they can arrange into ...
New insights into 3D-printed materials for future fusion reactors
X-ray and neutron experiments give valuable clues.
