Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have developed a simple, efficient method for recycling of rare earth magnets. These materials are widely used in consumer electronics, however, as their name signifies, they are quite rare. The process of mining and purifying rare earth metals affects the ecology, and is very costly and labor-intensive.
A research team led by DESY scientistshave filmed shock waves in diamonds using ultra-short pulses of X-rays, thereby paving the way for investigating exotic material properties.
A team of scientists at the University of Bristol have designed an artificial skin that can be transformed at the flick of a switch, mimicking the camouflage properties of squids.
Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory (Argonne) and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have developed an innovative, simple method for creation of magnetic skyrmion bubbles at room temperature conditions.
Researchers at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science have led a team that has used a three-metal compound to create nanostructures, which can produce fuel cells with improved durability and efficiency at a lower cost.
Using a $1 million grant awarded by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, the University of Houston researchers are involved in the discovery of innovative materials.
A study conducted at The University of Akron by Dr. Matthew Shawkey, associate professor of biology and Dr. Ali Dhinojwala, Morton Professor of Polymer Science and Ming Xiao, graduate student in collaboration with the University of California, San Diego aims to reconstruct structural color patterns observed in the feathers of birds so that color can be created without the need for pigments and dyes.
Scientists at Kiel University have utilized simple, highly efficient flame technology to synthesize nanoscale materials from tin oxide. Researchers have been able to successfully bake nanostructures using zinc oxide. This study focuses on tin oxide, which holds significant promise for a wide range of potential new applications.
With nanotechnological advancements making defect-free materials possible, a research team from the University of Pennsylvania and Germany’s Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems has shown how defects initially form prior to failure.
MIT researchers have developed a new method of converting strong, yet wet and soft, biocompatible materials commonly known as hydrogels into complex and intricately patterned structures. The process can result in injectable materials that can be used for delivering cells or drugs into the body, durable but flexible structures for robotic applications in the future and scaffolds to regenerate load-bearing tissues.
