In the industrial setting, polymer membranes are frequently employed to separate gases like CO2 from flue gas and methane from natural gas.
Friction is an unavoidable opponent for devices with mechanical parts. It is a primary cause of service failure and may shorten the lifetime of any equipment, from bicycles to cars to aircraft and manufacturing lines.
Nature produces layered materials, such as bone and mother-of-pearl that become less sensitive to flaws as they age.
One of the most promising materials for the implementation of quantum technologies is NV-doped diamond. However, there are currently very few products available in quantities and quality that are industrially acceptable.
The migration barrier is an important yet underrepresented component that controls battery performance. It controls how quickly ions pass through an electrode within a battery, which ultimately affects how rapidly the battery charges or discharges.
Manganese oxides have received much attention from materials scientists due to their widespread applications including electrodes, catalysts, sensors, supercapacitors, and biomedicine.
Cities with little tree cover are substantially hotter than their surroundings. The absorption of near-infrared (NIR) radiation in sunlight causes the “urban heat island” effect. As a result, NIR-reflective pigments that may minimize such heating effects are extremely sought.
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have found a way to build powerful magnets smaller than before, aiding the design and construction of machines that could help the world harness the power of the sun to create electricity without producing greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change.
A semiconductor is a material whose conductivity lies somewhere between that of a conductor and an insulator. This property allows semiconductors to serve as the base material for modern electronics and transistors.
A new study shows that nickel oxide superconductors, which conduct electricity with no loss at higher temperatures than conventional superconductors do, contain a type of quantum matter called charge density waves, or CDWs, that can accompany superconductivity.
In an article recently published in the journal ACS Applied Electronic Materials, researchers discussed the extreme-ultraviolet (UV) lithography monitoring of a Mo/Si mirror's temperature using photoluminescence.
