A researcher at Florida State University is looking into the difficulties of a material that researchers around the globe are attempting to control to create better solar cells.
Chemistry is the study of bond formation (or dissociation) between atoms. The knowledge of how chemical bonds form is, in fact, fundamental to not just all of chemistry but also fields like materials science. However, traditional chemistry has been largely limited to the study of stable compounds.
A sharkskin-inspired coating on planes will save thousands of dollars per flight and slash carbon emissions, says Aussie start-up, MicroTau.
The ProKiln system by ABB addresses challenges in cement production, improving safety and efficiency with advanced gas sampling technology for AFR.
Under the guidance of chemist Miriam Unterlass, a research team was successful in generating organic and inorganic substances in a single process with the help of an eco-friendly method.
A team of researchers led by the University of Minnesota Twin Cities has addressed a long-standing puzzle about strontium titanate, an odd metal oxide that can function as an insulator, a semiconductor, or a metal.
A recent paper in European Physical Journal Special Topics demonstrates how energy can be harvested from vibrating micromagnets in the most effective method to power the now prevalent wireless sensors.
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed an upcycling approach that adds value to discarded plastics for reuse in additive manufacturing, or 3D printing.
Scientists who study materials can be divided into three categories. "You have people who make things, people who make things do things, and people who try to understand why things do what they do," said Jim De Yoreo, a Battelle fellow at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). He places himself into the third category.
Writing in Materials, scientists have presented a multi-analytical study on Nuragic bronze statues. The study shines light on ancient metallurgical techniques and superficial treatments of bronze statues from this period.
