Neutralization of nanoparticles in lung cells
How does the body react to inhaled nanoparticles? In a collaboration involving researchers from the MEANS team at the MPQ laboratory, the evolution of molybdenum disulfide nanosheets in mouse lungs has been monitored for up to one month after inhalation....
Excitonic insulator: when electrons decouple from the crystal lattice
Many-body interactions in quantum materials are one of the main drivers of exotic ground states, such as Mott insulators, superconductors, and density waves. Figure:Two-color polarization resolved time resolved Raman scattering set-up. The pump pulse at 1030 nm drive...
Revealing the electronic profile of a p-n junction in doped graphene.
Graphene, composed of a single layer of carbon atoms, possesses unique and promising physical properties in various fields, particularly in electronics. Figure :Diagram (left) representing a cluster of C60 molecules used as a mask to protect graphene during doping by...
