Physicists have discovered a room-temperature transition between 1D and 2D electrical conduction states in the topological insulator bismuth iodide. A Rice University team and its collaborators have ...

Lithium manganese iron phosphate (LMFP) is a promising cathode material for lithium–ion batteries due to its enhanced safety and structural stability. However, its ionic conductivity is limited by the ...

Defects in materials give rise to fluctuations in electrostatic fields that reflect the local charge density, but imaging this with single atom sensitivity is challenging. However, if possible, this ...
