Developing a new understanding of the structure of natrophosphate, a complex mineral found in radioactive tank waste at the Hanford Site, by integrating experimental techniques.
Newly funded research will look at the underlying science of controlling hydrogen interactions with two-dimensional materials composed of carbon, boron, and nitrogen.
A new simple and scalable synthesis produces nanoparticle assemblies that can perform catalytic hydrogen sensing at room temperature for the first time.
Under high temperature conditions, hematite nanocrystals change shape to expose the (001) facet and attach to form one-dimensional chains regardless of their initial structure.
