A systematic study of phase changes in vanadium dioxide has solved a mystery that has puzzled scientists for decades. A systematic study of phase changes in vanadium dioxide has solved a mystery that ...

Scientists have discovered a shocking fact about a material called Vanadium dioxide (VO 2). According to research published in Nature Electronics, VO 2 can remember previous external stimuli. It's an ...

If a so-called "rise of the machines" ever comes to fruition, our chances of survival may have just taken a big hit. A team of scientists from the US Department of Energy ’s Lawrence Berkeley National ...

In an apparent contradiction to textbook physics, a metal has been identified that conducts electricity but produces almost no heat in the process. Such a strange property may be expected to occur in ...

While the large windows and glass that often surround modern buildings allow for the immense amount of lighting that enters these areas during the day. However, the glazings that are placed as a film ...

For the first time, researchers have gotten a detailed view of how atoms in a compound called vanadium dioxide move when an ultrafast laser pulse transforms the material from an electrical insulator ...

A new glass coating made of vanadium dioxide could provide relief for sky-high summer air conditioning bills -- without affecting winter heating costs, according to a study in the latest Journal of ...

A new technical paper titled “Strain-free thin film growth of vanadium dioxide deposited on 2D atomic layered material of hexagonal boron nitride investigated by their thickness dependence of ...

This representation of the crystal lattice of vanadium dioxide in its steady states shows the positions of the vanadium atoms in the insulator phase (solid orange spheres) and the metallic phase ...

If you can’t answer the riddle, don’t feel bad. Metal conductors usually conduct electricity and heat. Usually, that’s true, but researchers at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National ...
