The first measurements of magnetic excitations rippling through a nickelate (Ni) superconductor show it's closely related to cuprate (Cu) superconductors...

Illustration showing nickelate and cuprate superconductors as cartoon characters that are either close friends holding hands or neighbors talking over a fence.

This illustration shows one of the active sites of a new catalyst that accelerates the first step in making fuels...

A ball-and-stick illustration of a single nickel atom (green) bonded to nitrogen atoms (blue) on the surface of a carbon material. The arrangement allows the nickel atoms to catalyze two types of reactions involved in making fuel from CO2.

Tech Transfer

Illustration

A beam of light hits a semiconductor material, ejecting an electron (blue) which goes on to partner with a hole (orange) to form a whirling compound particle, the exciton.
