Superconductors are materials that conduct electricity without resistance at very low temperatures. From the moment when superconductors were discovered by physicists, they in fact wondered whether it could be possible to produce materials that are capable of exhibiting the same properties at warmer temperatures.
A key electronic component in various kinds of electrical circuits is a capacitor — a component with the ability to store and rapidly release a charge.
In a recent announcement made by Waters Corporation, the company highlighted that it has entered into a Co-Marketing agreement with Wyatt Technology in order to bring about improvements in the analysis of synthetic polymers and biotherapeutic proteins.
Certain materials luminesce, changing their color and intensity when exposed to mechanical forces such as rubbing or grinding. These luminescent “mechanochromic” materials can create a range of emission colors in the visible light spectrum, from blue to red. Their color-changes under force are properly documented, and are caused by variations to the molecules’ crystal structures.
When you zoom in on a crystal, you will find an ordered array of atoms that are evenly spaced like the windows on the Empire State Building. But when you zoom in on a piece of glass, the picture looks a bit messier, more like a random pile of sand, or maybe be the windows on a Frank Gehry building.
A new advance on a method formulated by MIT Researchers could enable continuous, high-precision monitoring of materials exposed to a high-radiation environment. The technique may allow these materials to last much longer, removing the need for preventive replacement. It could also accelerate the search for new and better materials for these challenging environments.
The Institute for Advanced Composites Manufacturing Innovation (IACMI, in partnership with Michelman and other key IACMI consortium members, has announced a project focused on the optimization of vinyl ester resins and fiber sizings for the fabrication of carbon fiber composites.
Researchers from the Stanford University have discovered that advanced metal mixtures that are stronger, lighter, and highly heat-resistant when compared to traditional alloys can be synthesized by means of high pressure.
Lithium-oxygen systems are likely to overtake currently used lithium-ion batteries in performance because of their capacity for high energy density.
Trisha Andrew, Materials Scientist at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, proves that one day she will be able to produce a comfortable, lightweight jacket capable of generating the power to light up a jogger at night even though this entire concept may sound futuristic.
