Nano-TiO₂ accelerates cement early but quietly locks its crystals later
New research shows nano-TiO₂ does far more than speed up cement hydration. It accelerates crystallization early, then stabilizes metastable C-S-H ...
Hydrogel-confined environment for aqueous-compatible perovskite crystallization
For more than a decade, halide perovskites have dazzled researchers with their extraordinary ability to absorb X-rays and convert them ...
Protons Take Command: NMR Reveals Hidden Gatekeeper in Molecular Sieve Growth
Chinese researchers used ultrafast operando solid-state NMR spectroscopy to reveal a proton-mediated dual-channel gating mechanism that directs nucleation and morphology ...
Temporary Liquid Trick Grows Near-Defect-Free Perovskite Crystals for Solar Cells and LEDs
Researchers at UC San Diego, Princeton and Sungkyunkwan University have developed a volatile eutectic additive that temporarily liquefies during perovskite ...
Ice Water Beats Room Temperature: Simple Cooling Trick Supercharges Shape Memory Rubber
Researchers found that cooling a rubber-stearic acid shape memory polymer with ice water instead of room temperature air dramatically improved ...
How a Drop of Water Decides Whether Mine Waste Traps Carbon as Flawless Crystal or Useless Crust
New research shows that water content, not temperature or pressure, governs whether carbon dioxide captured in mine tailings becomes defective ...
Graphene Gives Everyday Plastic a High-Tech Upgrade, Review Finds
A new review details how graphene additives, when properly dispersed, can transform high-density polyethylene into a stronger, more heat-conductive, and ...
Glassy Armor: What Really Decides Whether Iron-Based Amorphous Coatings Resist Corrosion
A new review in the Journal of Materials Science explains why iron-based amorphous coatings resist corrosion so effectively, which defects ...
Crosslinked Polymer Underlayers Steer Rubrene Crystals Into Uniform, Device-Ready Films
Researchers at Gyeongsang National University show that UV-crosslinked, solvent-rinsed polystyrene interlayers drive rubrene thin films into uniform orthorhombic spherulites within ...
