Physicists have discovered that silicon-22 reveals a new proton magic number offering critical insights into nuclear ...

One of the greatest revolutions in the field of pain medication was the isolation of morphine from the opium poppy in the ...

Science X is a network of high quality websites with most complete and comprehensive daily coverage of the full sweep of ...

We discuss the method to calculate the work function of polarized materials with first principles calculation. Then we take boron 2D atomic crystal as an example. We found that the Alkali metal ...

Oxides exhibit an amazing series of crystal frameworks, consisting of easy binary forms like alumina (Al ₂ O FOUR) and silica ...

Here, we report 4 nm thick a-BN films deposited by plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition (PE-ALD) with ultralow κ values of 1.43 (close to that of air, κ = 1) at operation frequencies of 1 MHz. The ...

Determining complete atomic structures directly from microscopy images remains a long-standing challenge in materials science. MicroscopyGPT is a vision-language model (VLM) that leverages multimodal ...

ABSTRACT Studies on barley management practices are scarce, and farmers have employed boron (B) fertilization without technical criteria, relying primarily on field reports of yield gains. This study ...

Through molecular simulations and density functional theory, we explored a novel approach leveraging molecular engineering-tuned pore chemistry to create active pores in polyamide membranes, enabling ...

A remarkable pink diamond, thought to have once belonged to Marie Antoinette, the last queen of France, has recently been ...

Diamonds might be forever but that doesn't stop them being bought and sold. One stone thought to have once belonged to Marie Antoinette, the last queen of France, has just sold for US$14 million (£10 ...
