Porous particles of silicate and calcium exhibit potential as building blocks for numerous applications like bone-tissue engineering, self-healing materials, drug delivery, ceramics, insulation, and construction materials according to Rice University engineers who decided to check out how well they perform at the nanoscale.
Researchers from Ames Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy have found out an innovative technique for encasing metal below a single layer of graphite, which may result in new and better regulated characteristics of these kinds of materials.
Can companies rely on the results of one or two scientific studies to design a new industrial process or launch a new product? In at least one area of materials chemistry, the answer may be yes — but only 80 percent of the time.
A new and potentially innovative material with the ability to considerably minimize the energy consumption and emissions related to the synthesis of ethylene has been developed by researchers from ExxonMobil and the Institute of Chemical Technology (ITQ), a joint research centre of Valencia’s Polytechnic University and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC).
The design of lithium-ion batteries has been altered by researchers in the United States in order to include slits along the electrodes. This is considered to be a feature which may lessen the risk of battery failure during automobile accidents.
Lina Hockaday, Senior Engineer in Pyrometallurgy at Mintek’s New Technology Group in South Africa, suggests that solar thermal reactors, able to attain temperatures up to 1200 °C, could almost eliminate emissions from processing manganese ore fines, by using solar sintering.
Gases have been used throughout industry. Natural gas, for instance, is "cracked" in refineries to make products like acetylene.
While a frame is capable of providing structural support for a house and the chassis has the potential to provide shape and strength for a car, a team of Penn State engineers are certain that they have a way for creating the structural framework for growing living tissue with the help of an off-the-shelf 3D printer.
Researchers from Sandia National Laboratories have identified a big hurdle to progressing solid-state lithium-ion battery performance in small electronics: the movement of lithium ions across battery interfaces.
Scientists have created a water cloaking concept hinged on electromagnetic forces that has the ability to eliminate the wake of an object, thereby considerably minimizing its drag while at the same time assisting it in evading detection.
