Wednesday, May 31, 2023 - 09:43 in Physics & Chemistry

A team of nuclear chemists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, working with a colleague from Changzhou University, has discovered a unique relaxation mechanism in a lattice-based material they built that had negative thermal expansion properties. In their study, reported in the journal Chemical Science, the group built latticed-based materials and observed their properties as they were heated.
