The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has re-launched the National Corrosion Service (NCS), which provides a Gateway to Expertise on many aspects of materials degradation. Due to its major impact on the economy, corrosion continues to figure prominently in the remit of this service.
This past January, Derek Ahneman, a graduate student in the lab of Abigail Doyle, a Princeton University associate professor of chemistry, began work on an ambitious new project: he proposed the merger of two areas of research to enable a powerful reaction that neither could broadly achieve on its own.
An international team of researchers from the United States, France and Russia has synthesized a previously unknown form of magnesium carbide
Chemists at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich have developed a novel type of red phosphor material, which significantly enhances the performance of white-emitting LEDs.
The Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory welcomed one of the 32 multi-million dollar Energy Frontier Research Centers announced by DOE this week. The centers are charged with pursuing the scientific underpinnings of various aspects of energy production, storage and use.
A small, low-powered camera component made from a "smart glass" material has been created by a group of researchers in Germany with the hope of inspiring the next generation of smartphone cameras.
Entegris Inc., a Billerica-based materials and solutions provider to the microelectronics industries, today inaugurated its new i2M Center for Advanced Materials Science in Bedford, Massachusetts.
Magnetic cooling is a promising new refrigeration technology boasting several advantages – ranging from lower energy consumption to eliminating the use of hazardous fluids – that combine to make it a much more environmentally friendly option than today’s standard fluid-compression form of refrigeration.
AMBER, the Science Foundation Ireland-funded materials science institute headquartered at Trinity College in Dublin today announced a new strategic partnership with Bell Labs, the research arm of Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU). AMBER which is funded by the Department of Jobs in Ireland through Science Foundation Ireland, and Bell Labs will embark on joint energy research projects in the fields of energy harvesting, energy efficiency and energy storage.
In industrialized countries, corrosion guzzles up to 4 percent of economic performance annually. Substances that protect metals effectively from its ravages are often damaging to the environment or have other disadvantages. Consequently, scientists working with Martin Stratmann and Michael Rohwerderat the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung (Iron Research) in Düsseldorf are developing synthetic coatings that can protect steels and other metals from rust and heal themselves if they become damaged.
