Research may Help Unleash the Potential of High-Powered Lithium Batteries

As researchers push the boundaries of battery design, seeking to pack ever greater amounts of power and energy into a given amount of space or weight, one of the more promising technologies being studied is lithium-ion batteries that use a solid electrolyte material between the two electrodes, rather than the typical liquid.

Researchers Unravel How a Polymer Inhibits Ice Recrystallization

Cryoprotectants are used to protect biological material during frozen storage. They have to be removed when defrosting, and how much to use and how exactly they inhibit ice recrystallisation is poorly understood. The polymer poly(vinyl)alcohol (PVA) is arguably the most potent ice recrystallisation inhibitor and researchers from the University of Warwick have unravelled how exactly it works. This newly acquired knowledge base provides novel guidelines to design the next generation of cryoprotectants

New Measurements Solve the Puzzle About Exotic Metallic Compounds

We all have a clear picture in mind when we think of metals: We think of solid, unbreakable objects that conduct electricity and exhibit a typical metallic sheen. The behaviour of classical metals, for example their electrical conductivity, can be explained with well-known, well-tested physical theories.
