Van der Waals forces, once deemed too weak for structural integrity, have been shown to create stable, highly porous frameworks with exceptional thermal resilience and reversible assembly, paving the way for scalable and recyclable materials.
Researchers have found that pressure can scramble the electrical charge order in a material, creating a disordered "charge glass" state before it turns metallic. This discovery in BiNiO3 offers a new perspective on how materials change under pressure, expanding our understanding of phase transitions, and marking a significant advancement in the fields of physics and materials science.
