Allerød, Denmark – Some of the most challenging sensors to calibrate are the sanitary sensors found in the pharmaceutical and food industries. To accurately calibrate these sensors, the technician must p...
ESPOO, Finland, 23 of November 2021 – Picosun Group has launched a Medical Materials Library consisting of over ten materials intended for medical-related coating and encapsulation with Atomic Layer Deposition...
Researchers from the University of Cambridge have used a suite of correlative, multimodal microscopy methods to visualise, for the first time, why perovskite materials are seemingly so tolerant of defects in their structure. Their findings were published today in Nature Nanotechnology.
In 1984, a routine examination of an aluminum-manganese alloy revealed a curious anomaly that was previously thought to be crystallographically impossible– a five-fold rotational symmetry.
Demonstrating that a material thought to be always chemically inert, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), can be turned chemically active holds potential for a new class of catalysts with a wide range of applications, according to an international team of researchers.
Lithium-ion batteries, those marvels of lightweight power that have made possible today's age of handheld electronics and electric vehicles, have plunged in cost since their introduction three decades ago at a rate similar to the drop in solar panel prices, as documented by a study published last March.
The restricted reservoir of fossils fuels and the accelerating risks of climate change have motivated scientists to develop alternative technologies to synthesize eco-friendly fuels.
Traditionally, coatings have been applied to materials as a way to prevent corrosion and improve surface properties, and even offer long-term economic benefits by improving product durability. The use of cerium nitrate has been explored in the journal ACS Omega.
