As a robust example of how artificial intelligence (AI) can speed up the discovery of new materials, researchers in Japan have engineered and verified polymers with high thermal conductivity—a property that would be instrumental in heat management, for instance, in the fifth-generation (5G) mobile communication technologies.
Merging new theoretical and experimental methods, scientists from the University of Michigan (USA), Kookmin University (South Korea), the University of Konstanz (Germany), and the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (Japan) have been successful in measuring and defining the thermal conductance of single-molecule junctions—an important quantity in nanoscale transport phenomena that has until now evaded direct experimental determination.
Conventional magnets are rigid and hard but have contributed in great measure to society and contemporary industry, says materials scientist Thomas Russell of the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
Steering wheels tend to get too hot to touch during the summer. A new thermoelectric material described in the journal Science could soon be the solution.
Horror movies about dolls that can move around, like Chucky and Anabelle, have been popular. For now, a much less frightening animated doll has chemists interested.
For the first time, researchers have successfully observed the electronic structure in a microelectronic device that could pave the way for finely-tuned, high-performance electronic devices.
Southwest Research Institute and The University of Texas at San Antonio are partnering to obtain data for a computational model for supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) energy generation.
One of the main objectives of researchers is to develop dynamic synthetic materials that are similar to those found in nature, have reversibly changing characteristics, and can possibly be used in recycling, manufacturing, and many other different applications.
Chemistry not as simple as merely mixing compound A and compound B to create compound C. There are catalysts that influence the reaction rate, as well as the physical circumstances of the reaction and any in-between steps that lead to the end product.
Scary movies about dolls that can move, like Anabelle and Chucky, are popular at theaters this summer. Meanwhile, a much less menacing animated doll has chemists talking.
