IKA's I-MAG magnetic stirrer efficiently mixes up to 300 liters, featuring a robust design, high IP protection, and seamless integration into process systems.
For years, researchers believed that the smaller the domain size in a ferroelectric crystal, the greater the piezoelectric properties of the material. However, recent findings by Penn State researchers have raised questions about this standard rule.
The science is clear: fossil fuels are harmful to the environment. So why is it so difficult for us to stop using them- Economic reasons are at least part of the answer.
An article published in the journal Materials Today Nano demonstrated a novel method to utilize diamond wire saw silicon power (DWSSP) produced during the manufacturing of solar cells. The team illustrated a method for the conversion of DWSSP into a composite that demonstrated excellent cycling performance and retained discharge capacity and is ideal for use in lithium-ion anodes.
