Researchers from Sandia National Laboratories have identified a big hurdle to progressing solid-state lithium-ion battery performance in small electronics: the movement of lithium ions across battery interfaces.
Designed for researchers, the MeasureReady™ 155 I/V Source ensures low-noise performance and seamless integration, enhancing material characterization efforts.
Scientists have created a water cloaking concept hinged on electromagnetic forces that has the ability to eliminate the wake of an object, thereby considerably minimizing its drag while at the same time assisting it in evading detection.
A new method by which to 3D print metals, involving an extensively used stainless steel, has been shown to realize exceptional levels of both ductility and strength, when compared to counterparts from more conventional processes.
Just visualize: An optical lens so powerful that it allows users to view features the size of a small virus on a living cell’s surface in its natural environment.
This high-performance epoxy adhesive, Master Bond Supreme 34CA, provides outstanding chemical resistance and strength for demanding bonding applications.
An astonishing array of behavior can be seen in materials with different crystal lattices purely based on the interactions of the electron with the lattice, and in semiconductors based on the energetics of the electrons.

Researchers from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Information Engineering and the Electronics-Inspired Interdisciplinary Research Institute (EIIRIS) at Toyohashi University of Technology have created an ultrastretchable bioprobe employing Kirigami designs.
A study, carried out by EPFL, reports that adding guanidinium into perovskite solar cells stabilizes their efficiency at 19% for 1000 hours under full-sunlight testing circumstances. Details of the study have been published in Nature Energy.
UC Berkeley physicists state that an individual’s physical attraction to hot bodies is real. To be clear, the physicists are not talking about sexual attraction towards a “hot” human body. However, the researchers have demonstrated that a glowing object in fact attracts atoms, opposing to what most people – including physicists– would guess.
NRL showcases innovative science and technology in ocean, atmosphere, and space at the AGU Fall Meeting, Dec. 11-15, at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.
Nature stimulates innovation. An international research team led by researchers at Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, along with ESRF -the European Synchrotron, Grenoble, France- scientists, has exposed how a brittle star can form material like tempered glass underwater.
For more than six and a half decades, niobium boride (NbB) has been regarded a typical example of a superconducting material. This presumption has been noted down in manuals related to physics of condensed matter and scientific articles journals, and has at present been challenged in a research carried out by scientists from the University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil, and from San Diego State University, United States.
Following the starting signal, two electrons speed off in opposite directions. The one that wins the race is hardly seven attoseconds (7x10-18 seconds) ahead. It has been impossible to measure the difference till now as it is very small. However, that difference is brought about by chirality, a hallmark of molecules responsible for emitting electrons.
The so-called “Internet of Things” is the idea of having everyday objects communicating useful information over the internet for a variety of purposes. For instance, an internet-connected refrigerator might be able to order a grocery delivery if you start running low on certain items.
