Scientists create isotopic atropisomers via carbon isotope discrimination
Newswise — In chemistry, a molecule or ion is said to be chiral if it cannot be superposed on to its mirror image by any combination of rotations, translations, or…
Scientists Increase Electron-Phonon Interaction in Thin Strontium Ruthenate
Newswise — Electrons inside crystals interact closely with phonons, defined as the discrete unit of crystal vibrations. The electron–phonon coupling strength is an important fundamental physical quantity in solid state…
Creating eco-friendly superconductors with MgB2 super magnets
Newswise — MgB2 is a binary compound that acts as a superconductor at a moderate temperature of around -234°C. This temperature can be achieved using inexpensive coolants like liquid hydrogen…
