This joint CNMS-CFN research effort built on unique capabilities of two NSRCs and resulted in a new hybrid nanocomposite sensor material with ~20 times higher gravimetric response than pure polymer thin films, and that could be further enhanced by
This work shows that nonclassical multiphoton interferences can be achieved at the subwavelength scale in all-dielectric metasurfaces.
A unique combination of imaging tools and atomic-level simulations allowed the team to solve a longstanding debate about the properties of a promising material that can harvest energy from light.
Understanding the 3-D distribution and nature of active sites in heterogeneous catalysts is critical to developing useful structure−function relationships but it is very difficult to achieve such 3-D information.
A general approach for quantitatively investigating the spatiotemporal dependence of structural relaxation in deformed polymers based on using small-angle neutron scattering alongside HPC-enabled nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations was develop
