Ramping up renewable energy products will require a range of critical metals. One of these elements, tellurium, is gaining in popularity for use in photovoltaics, or solar panels. As global demand for solar panels continues to increase, so is the need for critical metals like tellurium.
A series of buzzing, bee-like "loop-currents" could explain a recently discovered, never-before-seen phenomenon in a type of quantum material. The findings from researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder may one day help engineers to develop new kinds of devices, such as quantum sensors or the quantum equivalent of computer memory storage devices.
High or very low temperatures, humidity and dust - such environmental conditions pose great challenges for electronics.
Graphene Composites (GC), a leading innovator in advanced materials engineering and William Blythe, leading chemicals innovator and part of the Synthomer Group a FTSE 250 company, announce a successful partnership in William Blythe’s supply of graphene oxide for use in GC Halo®, a unique coating for air filters that destroys viruses, bacteria and mould on contact.
Industrial parts damage is costly, leads to delays, and might not be safe for plant workers.
A method has been devised by scientists for integrating expensive platinum and a cheap rare earth element, lanthanum, as an alloy to function as a catalyst in the following generation of fuel cells that will reduce their cost and enhance their performance.
Succinic acid is a multipurpose platform chemical for improving flavors and producing pharmaceutical products, dyes, and bio-polyesters.
Researchers used strong X-Ray beam technology to investigate what causes soft materials like toothpaste and hair gel to relax. Their findings can help in the development of new consumer items and nanotechnologies.
