A new class of 2D materials known as MXenes holds the key to next-generation applications, such as consumer electronics and medical devices. Now, collaborative research led by Zahra Fakhraai of Penn's ...

Researchers create MXenes with up to nine metals, uncovering how atomic order and disorder shape the future of high-performance 2D materials. (Nanowerk News) Two-dimensional nanomaterials only a few ...

A science experiment explores how entropy, often linked to disorder, can sometimes lead to structured patterns and organized behavior under the right conditions. ‘Vertical morality’ might describe why ...

Schrödinger’s ideas on entropy challenge the assumption that life violates physical laws, showing how living systems create order by exporting disorder to their environment.
