How is Swedish Algae Factory scaling its material Algica®, a diatom-based silica material for natural beauty products, controlled release, wound care, and even solar cells and battery applications?
Solid-state batteries show potential, but until researchers and manufacturers work out how to scale them successfully, they'll remain in R&D. Joe Adiletta at Volexion comments.
Inside the Findings That Shaped Materials Science takes a closer look at some of those turning points - the ideas, lab innovations, and breakthroughs that shifted the way we study and use materials. In today's piece, we take a closer look at semiconductors.
