Scientists precisely removed a gold nanocluster's core atom and outer electron, revealing how spin state affects catalytic activity without structural loss. (Nanowerk News) In a breakthrough that ...

Collective behavior is an unusual phenomenon in condensed-matter physics. When quantum spins interact together as a system, they produce unique effects not seen in individual particles. Understanding ...

Researchers precisely removed a gold nanoparticle's core atom and outermost electron to study how magnetic spin affects its catalytic activity. (Nanowerk News) A team of researchers from the Hefei ...

When quantum spins interact, they can produce collective behaviors that defy long-standing expectations. Researchers have now shown that the Kondo effect behaves very differently depending on spin ...

The job of a catalyst is to ultimately speed up reactions, which could reduce an hour-long process into several minutes. It has recently been shown that using external magnetic fields to modulate spin ...

In a breakthrough that brings nanoscience one step closer to precise control of chemical reactions, a team of researchers from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of ...
