We developed superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) based on tungsten silicide (WSi) that show saturated internal detection efficiency up to a wavelength of 10 um. These detectors are promising for applications in the mid-infrared

Polymers constructed via hybrid physical-covalent assembly of computationally designed peptide coiled coils, or bundlemers, display tunable chain stiffness via control of inter-bundlemer connectivity. Neutron spin echo spectroscopy reveals that rigid rod

Materials for hydrogen storage have been extensively explored for a few decades. Thousands of hydrogen storage materials have been synthesized and tested, however, sparse systems could meet the practical requirements. Metalorganic hydrides discovered

High throughput (combinatorial) materials science methodology is a relatively new research paradigm that offers the promise of rapid and efficient materials screening, optimization and discovery. The paradigm started in the pharmaceutical industry but was
Quantification of electron-exited X-ray spectra following the standards-based "k-ratio" (unknown/standard intensity) protocol with corrections for "matrix effects" (electron energy loss and backscattering, X-ray absorption, and secondary X-ray fluorescence

Successful strategies for the design of crystalline materials with useful function are frequently based on the systematic tuning of chemical composition within a given structural family. Perovskites with the formula ABX 3, perhaps the best-known example of
