Electrochemical cells—or batteries, as a well-known example—are complex technologies that combine chemistry, physics, ...

One way to do that is called remote epitaxy, where an intermediate layer made out of graphene or other material is introduced between the substrate and the growing crystals. Once the epitaxy ...

Once road builders make the base, it is time to build the asphalt concrete layers: the base layer, the intermediate layer and the surface layer. All these layers contain the aggregates – the ...
