The National Institute for Materials Science has successfully synthesized a new SmFe-based magnetic compound, SmFe 8.8 N 1.1, which possesses superior intrinsic magnetic properties when compared to ...

Physicists have created a new ultra-thin two-layer material with quantum properties that normally require rare earth compounds. This material, which is relatively easy to make and does not contain ...

Artificial intelligence advances how scientists explore materials. Researchers trained a machine-learning (ML) model to assess the stability of rare-earth compounds. The framework they developed ...

One of the chemicals considered essential to life on Earth may have originated in outer space, researchers have found. Nitrogen compounds, including ammonium salts, may have made their way to Earth ...
