In line with expectations, new quantum noise experiments conducted at Rice University revealed an unusually quiet “strange metal” quantum material. The measurements of quantum charge fluctuations, or "shot noise," which were published in Science, offer the first concrete proof that electricity appears to flow through peculiar metals in a peculiar liquid-like form that defies easy explanation in terms of quantized charge packets, or quasiparticles.
Researchers from the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) Center for Nanoparticle Research, under the direction of Professor Kisuk Kang, have made significant progress toward developing next-generation solid-state batteries.
Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Process Engineering (IPE) and Kyoto University have suggested an approach for growing ‘face-on’ and ‘edge-on’ conductive metal-organic frameworks (cMOF) nanofilms on substrates by controlling the “stand-up” behaviors of ligands on various surfaces to circumvent the difficulty in such film orientation control.
