Researchers at the Los Alamos National Laboratory have discovered unique characteristics in nanocomposite oxide ceramics that hold promise for nuclear fuels, fast ion conductors, ferroelectrics, and for storage of nuclear waste. Composites can be used for a wide range of applications, as their interfaces possess distinctive ionic and electronic properties that may help improve conductivity of materials.
Peak Scientific meets Asia’s largest laboratory technology, analysis, biotechnology and diagnostics exhibition—Analytica China 2014, from 24-26 September in Shanghai, China.
A spin-off of Analytica in Muni...
Experts from three universities have collaborated to develop nickel-titanium alloy nanoparticles for electrical and thermal sensors used to control high technology devices utilized in a wide range of industries such as aerospace, electronics, optical, biomedical, and petrochemical industries.
Engineers at the University of Utah have found a new way to produce “topological insulators”, which possess a large energy gap. This study has been led by Feng Liu, a materials science and engineering professor, at the University of Utah. Topological insulators could help develop superfast computers that do not get over heated when performing hi-speed calculations.
A team of researchers at Penn State University have created a new method to produce ultra-thin ‘diamond nanothreads’. This material is expected to possess exceptional stiffness and strength compared to existing high strength polymers and nanotubes.
Researchers from MIT have designed and created new waterproof adhesives which can be used to repair ships or to heal surgical inclusions and wounds. The researchers drew inspiration from shellfish like barnacles and mussels, which secrete highly sticky proteins enabling them to adhere to ship hulls and rocks underwater.
A new star-shaped molecule has been produced at The University of Manchester. It is considered to be the most complex molecule of its type to be ever created.
A team of researchers from the University of Swansea have developed a highly sensitive graphene biosensor with the capability to detect molecules which show signs of increased cancer risk.
A group of researchers from Mainz and Darmstadt have established a chemical bond between a carbon atom and a superheavy element for the first time ever. The researchers established a chemical bond between seaborgium and a carbon atom by converting eighteen atoms of seaborgium into seaborgium hexacarbonyl complexes.
University of Arkansas engineers have developed as a new semiconductor material that holds promise for cost-effective photodetectors used in production of infrared cameras for smartphones. This material comprises of a silicon substrate on which layers of germanium tin are deposited.
