A new model helps understand for example defects formed in metal production.
In today’s world, cooling is a very important process. The challenge for the future is to carry out cooling that is not harmful to the climate, and facilitates the conservation of natural resources. Professors Stefan Seelecke and Andreas Schütze from Saarland University have used cooling systems that use shape memory alloys, also referred to as ‘artificial muscles’ or ‘metal muscles.
Researchers David Moore and Timothy Briggs from Sandia National Laboratories and their teams are analyzing the inner parts of a composite material. Moore had a rectangular piece of carbon composite material with a surface that was smooth with a weak woven pattern.
Dr. Guijarro has devloped a facile and scalable method to prepare (Cu(In,Ga)S2) photocathodes and demonstrated their state-of-the-art performance for Solar Hydrogen production. The results have been plublished in Advanced Energy Materials.
A team of researchers at Umeå University have demonstrated, for the first time, the possibility of an efficient charge transport in semiconducting polymers, by controlled chain and crystallite orientation. These pioneering results, while enhancing polymer charge transport by over 1,000 times, can influence organic opto-electronic devices, and were published in a recent issue of Advanced Materials.
Oil and water don't mix, but when one is finely dispersed in the other a liquid mixture is produced with useful properties. An emulsion comprising of tiny droplets of one of the liquids immersed in the other is the usual form, found in salad dressings, cosmetics and industrial lubricants.
A new water filtration system has been developed by ETH researchers. In comparison to existing systems ,it is highly efficient in isolating toxic radioactive substances and heavy metal ions present in water. Gold recovery is another potential application of the new filter.
A research group at France's National Institute of Applied Sciences of Lyon (INSA de Lyon) have discovered a technique to improve the mechanical energy harvesting performance potential of smart materials called, "electrostrictive polymers."
A magnetic state in a few atomic laters of artificially synthesized materials, known as transitional metal oxides, has been developed by researchers from the University of Arkansas and their colleagues.
There are many different ways to make nanomaterials but weaving, the oldest and most enduring method of making fabrics, has not been one of them – until now. An international collaboration led by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California (UC) Berkeley, has woven the first three-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (COFs) from helical organic threads.
