Researchers have taken spectroscopic snapshots of the passage of extra protons from one water molecule to another during the process of conductivity, which is considered as nature's most mysterious relay race.
A team of researchers from North Carolina State University, Duke University and Brookhaven National Laboratory have discovered that molybdenum sulfide (MoS2) has more potential than formerly thought as a catalyst for creating hydrogen to use as a clean energy source. The researchers specifically found that the whole surface of MoS2 can be used as a catalyst, not merely the edges of the material.
An Austrian team has developed a new technique based on physical vapor deposition, to upscale the quantity of coating without affecting the homogeneity and quality of the film.
Tiny, glowing crystals that are designed to identify and capture heavy-metal toxins such as mercury or lead could be a powerful new tool ideal for both locating and cleaning up water sources that are contaminated.
Researchers from the Technical University of Freiberg and the University of Siegen in Germany collaborated to conduct a study which demonstrates that the physical properties of strontium titanate (SrTiO3) in its single crystal form can be modified using a simple electrical treatment. The mineral strontium titanate is studied for its superconducting properties.
A competitive award was given to Joshua Charles, a Ph.D. student in mechanical engineering for his research into the application of phase change materials to help enhance the efficiency of power plants and decrease the amount of pollutants they discharge.
Everyday tons of data is generated, which requires storage systems such as hard drives with a higher efficiency and density. This also requires materials whose magnetic properties can be swiftly and easily controlled in order to write and access data on them.
Glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRPs) are advanced composites that are stiff, light, durable, strong materials that can be shaped flexibly and used to build huge load-bearing structures. A new study, utilizing data logged from sensors on a GFRP structure at the 2016 Serpentine Architecture Programme held in London, has found that stresses can be observed from real advanced composite structures.
Artificial muscles - materials that contract and expand in a similar manner like muscle fibers do - can have many applications, from robotics to components in the aviation and automobile sectors. Recently, a team of MIT researchers have developed one of the simplest and economical systems yet to create such “muscles,” in which a material recreates a few of the bending motions that natural muscle tissues perform.
Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory have been credited with the development of the first intermetallic double salt with platinum.
