The international “Science Award Electrochemistry” from BASF and Volkswagen goes in 2013 to Dr. Karl Mayrhofer, work group “Electrocatalysis”, Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung, Düsseldorf. The jury of representatives from BASF, Volkswagen and from academia selected Mayrhofer for the outstanding results of his research on electrocatalysts, which are crucial for the life expectancy of fuel cells.
People use their GPS apps, cameras, and mobile internet to navigate strange cities in search of good coffee, record "selfie" commentary while they wait in line, and upload their videos directly to social media sites while they sip their latte. But no amount of high-tech savvy can save a well-loved device from dying when its battery is drained.
NEI Corporation announced today that over the past five months since the product launch of NANOMYTE® SSE-10, it has further enhanced the ionic conductivity of the solid electrolyte powder by an order of magnitude hig...
In the near future, solar panels will not only be more efficient but also a lot cheaper and affordable for everyone, thanks to research by Nanyang Technological University (NTU) scientists.
Generators can be easily made from cheap, flexible, everyday materials
The Northrop Grumman Corporation joint venture National Security Technologies, LLC (NSTec) team at the National Nuclear Security Administration's (NNSA) Nevada National Security Site, received an R&D Magazine's 2013 R&D 100 Award. The award recognizes a variety of technologies created by researchers, scientists and engineers from throughout the nuclear security enterprise.
Intertek, a leading provider of quality and safety services to a wide range of industries around the world, will present and exhibit important fuel stability testing, inspection and certification services during the 2013 International Association for Stability, Handling and Use of Liquid Fuels (IASH) conference in Rhodes, Greece, October 7 -10.
BASF announced today it is investing $25 million in renovating and expanding its research and development (R&D) facility in Beachwood, Ohio. In addition to the existing catalyst and battery materials research, the facility is being renovated to make space for a new cathode materials research team and a team of researchers focused on chemical and process engineering.
University of Utah engineers will use a five-year, $16 million grant to conduct supercomputer simulations aimed at developing a prototype low-cost, low-emissions coal power plant that could electrify a mid-sized city. The goal of this “predictive science” effort is to help power poor nations while reducing greenhouse emissions in developed ones.
A research group led by Dr. Yoshitaka Tateyama from the NIMS International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (MANA), in collaboration with Fujifilm Corporation, succeeded in elucidating, on the atomic level, reaction mechanisms of the reductive decomposition and binding of electrolytes toward formation of solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on the interface between electrolyte and electrode, by using the K computer, the current flagship supercomputer in Japan. The findings will play a key role in improving the performance and safety of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).
