A group of researchers recently published a paper in the journal Materials that demonstrated the effects of different body attitudes on the aerodynamic characteristics and handling stability of racing cars. In racing cars, the aerodynamic acts on the tires through the suspension and the transmission of the body. Additionally, racing wheels can withstand higher tangential and lateral forces under changing conditions.

The climate crisis requires ramping up usage of renewable energy sources like solar and wind, but with intermittent availability, scalable energy storage is a challenge.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced a $420 million funding opportunity for DOE's Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRC). This funding will advance climate solutions through early-stage research on clean energy technology, advanced and low-carbon manufacturing, and quantum information science.
Kristen Tagaytayan carefully unearthed her research sample from a nitrogen glovebox. She gingerly placed the sample onto her workspace and added a nickel chemical solution to it. Using a razor blade, she evened out the mixture across a glass slide and placed it in the lab's oven, where she watched it cook from behind the glass window.
Organic molecules found in a meteorite that hurtled to Earth from Mars were synthesized during interactions between water and rocks that occurred on the Red Planet about 4 billion years ago, according to new analysis led by Carnegie's Andrew Steele and published by Science.
High entropy alloys (HEAs) are chemically complex materials made up of mixtures of five or more elements. What's interesting about them is that they offer completely new possibilities for the development of electrocatalysts.
DELO will host half a dozen webinars in the first half of 2022. Various aspects of the joining process will be covered, from the basics of bonding technology to dispensing options and light curing tips.
PerkinElmer Inc., a global leader committed to innovating for a healthier world, is set to provide customers with even greater access to its extensive and innovative dairy testing portfolio as it welcomes Everest Instrument Pvt. Ltd as its head dairy solutions distributor in India.
Consumer demand and the urgency of the need to shift to more sustainable means of production across all industries have prompted the fashion industry to look for more environmentally friendly textile solutions.

Flat materials that can transform into three-dimensional shapes might be used in medicine, architecture, space travel, robotics, and various other fields. However, programming these form changes demands longer and sophisticated calculations.
Electric vehicles (EVs) require cheaper, more effective, and longer-lasting batteries that will not burst while in use or pollute the environment if they are to become widely popular. The scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology believe that they have identified rubber—a common material— as a possible and beneficial alternative to the existing lithium-ion batteries in rubber.
For organic synthesis, i.e. for the production of carbon-based compounds, it is important to develop synthesis processes by which the desired product can be obtained in good yield. At the same time, the processes should be sustainable: for example, they should use environmentally friendly and readily available reagents, generate little waste and consume little energy.
