A research group headed by Prof. Jin Zhu from the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, in collaboration with Prof. Jing Chen at NIMTE and scientists at Tsinghua University, proposed a simple method for developing antibacterial lignin-based polyurethane/silver (Ag) composite foam that aids wound healing as wound dressings.
Solid-state batteries for electric vehicles, which offer higher energy density and range compared to contemporary lithium-ion batteries, are still out of reach, owing to challenges posed by the cathode composition. This appears to be a problem that will be solved by a new cathode composition and manufacturing technique.
The arrangement of the elements on the periodic table is done in a way to highlight specific relationships. There are families, groups (the vertical columns), and periods (the horizontal rows).
A research group headed by Dr Sang-Bok Lee and Byeongjin Park from the Department of Functional Composites at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) successfully developed the world’s first ultra-thin composite film.
