QUT researchers have identified a new method for incorporating copper ions into a germanium telluride thermoelectric material that significantly improves its ability to convert waste heat into electricity.
With access to ALCF’s powerful Aurora and Polaris systems, researchers are developing AI models that can predict promising new materials for battery electrolytes and electrodes.
Argonne advances battery breakthroughs at every stage in the energy storage lifecycle, from discovering substitutes for critical materials to pioneering new real-world applications to making end-of-life recycling more cost effective.
The periodic table is one of the triumphs of science. Even before certain elements had been discovered, this chart could successfully predict their masses, densities, how they would link up with other elements, and a host of other properties.
Serendipitously and for the first time, an international research team led by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory formed solid binary gold hydride, a compound made exclusively of gold and hydrogen atoms.
Results obtained with SLAC’s X-ray laser show how tiny magnetic coils can align over a surprisingly broad timescale, inspiring new ideas for microelectronics.
Lithium is considered a key ingredient in the future commercial fusion power plants known as tokamaks, and there are several ways to use this metal to enhance the process. But a key question remained: How much does it impact the amount of fuel trapped in the walls of tokamaks?
Gold's stability has been found to be 14 times its melting point, challenging thermodynamic principles, offering insights into extreme material behavior under ultrafast heating.
Heavy fermion materials are heavy because their electrons are entangled and slowed down by magnetic ions. These interactions among electrons are associated with superconductivity. Until now, all known heavy fermions had a 3D crystal structure, but researchers made these materials in 2D form.
For many years, researchers believed that superconductors could only exist at very low temperatures, a few degrees above absolute zero (-273 °C). Then, in 1986, researchers discovered that some materials become superconductors at a much higher temperature. These materials contain copper and oxygen and are called cuprates.
