Researchers have designed a new theoretical model for preparing niobium metal particle accelerator structures. The model predicts how oxygen moves deeper into the niobium metal from the thin oxide layer on its surface.
Image processing can be used to accelerate, control and optimise processes. When artificial intelligence comes into play, the range of applications becomes even wider. This is especially true for agriculture and the food...
What do gunpowder, penicillin and Teflon all have in common- They were inventions that took the world by storm, but they were all created by complete accident.
Considering lithium-oxygen batteries (Li-O2) have a better power density than lithium-ion batteries, they are a popular alternative. A new article in the journal ACS Applied Energy Materials discusses the effects of water on aprotic lithium oxygen batteries, such as the use of membranes for corrosion prevention and variations in cyclic stability.

Heterostructured materials (HSMs) are composed of heterogeneous zones that have large differences (=100%) in mechanical or physical properties. The interactive coupling among these heterogeneous zones can produce a synergistic effect beyond the rule of mixtures and properties inaccessible by homogeneous materials.
Polaritons offer the best of two very different worlds. These hybrid particles combine light and molecules of organic material, making them ideal vessels for energy transfer in organic semiconductors.
The Bridging the Gap workshop examined how to put the U.S. on a path to long-term global competitiveness.
For scientists working to create the next generation of batteries, water has typically been the enemy. For example, lithium-ion batteries typically need to be produced under extremely dry conditions for them to hold large amounts of charge.
