Entropy Binds Nanoparticles Similar to How Electrons Bind Chemical Crystals

AZoNano   -   Nanotechnology Websites

Entropy, a physical property frequently explained as “disorder,” is shown as an architect of order with a new bonding theory formulated at the University of Michigan and reported in the...

Impossible material made possible inside a graphene sandwich

Phys.org   -   Scientific News Websites

Atoms bind together by sharing electrons. The way this happens depends on the atom types but also on conditions such as temperature and pressure. In two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as graphene, atoms join along a plane to form structures just...
