MXenes (pronounced like the name "Maxine") are a class of two-dimensional materials, first identified just 14 years ago, with remarkable potential for energy storage, catalysts, ultrastrong ...

The underlying mechanism improving piezoelectricity via interfacial polarization is elucidated through combining the experimental results, molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory ...

The image on the left shows the flaky structure of the MXene sample under a scanning electron microscope. The image on the right shows the resulting composite material after cobalt and iron were ...

There are around 20 known MXene structures at present, and some of the main excitement around these materials comes from some of their potential applications, including as energy storage materials. 2 ...

A new adaptive metaskin hides objects from thermal cameras in both hot and cold environments, automatically adjusting its ...

A new method in spectromicroscopy significantly improves the study of chemical reactions at the nanoscale, both on surfaces and inside layered materials. Scanning X-ray microscopy (SXM) at MAXYMUS ...

Screen-printed MXene-cellulose labels deliver infrared QR authentication, reversible thermal switching, and rapid 200-second degradation, offering durable industrial anti-counterfeiting with reduced ...

For more than 3 million people around the world, kidney failure is a life-altering diagnosis, if not a life-threatening one. While about 17 percent of people in the U.S. with end-stage kidney disease ...
