Researchers from Virginia Commonwealth University’s Physics Department have found that the electrolytes found in lithium-ion batteries were superhalogens, and that the vast majority of these electrodes were in fact toxic.
An international team of researchers from the University of Manchester, Bielefeld University and the Universidad de Zaragoza have successfully reached temperatures of one Kelvin above absolute zero using magnetic molecules, in an experiment known as sub-Kelvin cooling.
A doctoral candidate will receive $20,000 as part of a new annual fellowship available to Clemson University graduate students who use electron microscopes that magnify with atomic resolution.
New York University scientists have discovered that the low-temperature microscopic particles tend to melt with the rise in temperature to moderate levels and again recombine under high temperature. This invention paves the way for the development of smart materials capable of adapting to any new environment, and for providing detailed study of 3D printing technology.
Scientists have combined hydrogen (H2) and deuterium (D2) to produce a new “Phase IV” material in which molecular interaction was found to be different than previously observed. This is the first time Anderson localization from vibrational energy has been noticed during interaction with different masses in a material.
Researchers from the University of Michigan have created nanolobes, which are rounded crystalline structures without any facets. The design resembles starfish shell texture, which is almost impossible to create in the laboratory. The shape of the nanolobes as well as the technique by which they are made have potential applications such as a light guide in advanced LEDs, non-reflective surfaces and solar cells.
Electrical engineers at Penn State have developed an illusion coating that makes an object look like something else. They have reported this study in the scientific journal, Advanced Functional Materials.
The first direct observation of atoms while in movement inside a bulk material has been made by researchers at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). They were able to directly image the movement or diffusion of single dopant atoms inside a material.
A research team from MIT has discovered a new phenomenon in metal nanoparticles in which they resemble liquid droplets and appear wobbling from the outside whilst maintaining a stable configuration on the inside.
Scientists from Purdue University have created a new class of electrically conductive polymers known as PTMA which are likely to revolutionise the manufacture of smart lightweight batteries, ultrathin antiglare coatings and transparent solar cells for the aircraft and electronics markets in a relatively inexpensive manner.
