materials as diverse as soap and chocolate, blood and faeces (yes, some modern art really is crap).
At the stage of initial manuscript submission, before peer review, and again at the revision stage, authors should submit materials and methods, text, tables and figures intended as supplementary
materials as a single docx or PDF file.
«It's exposing the underlying
materials as we go — that's a bonus.»
The exact cost depends on what materials you can find lying around: «You can certainly improvise,» says Baldwin, who has made planes from such unlikely
materials as cardboard, laptop batteries and credit cards.
He and his team's findings were published recently in Advanced
Materials as well as Physical Review Letters.
«The correspondence between atomic structure and electronic properties is of course what happens in real
materials as well, but here we have complete control over the structure.

materials as they become available.
These results provide the first foray into natural hyperbolic
materials as building blocks for nanophotonic devices in the mid-infrared to terahertz (THz) spectral range.
Although such quantum dot lasers have been grown on silicon before, their performance has not equaled that of quantum dot lasers grown on their native substrates, which are platforms made of similar
materials as the quantum dot lasers themselves.
The finding, published in the journal Science Advances, «completely changes the normal view of these highly popular
materials as solely artificial, «designer» solids,» says senior author Tomislav Friščić, an associate professor of chemistry at McGill University in Montreal.
