Most manufacturing businesses rely on the synthesis of organic chemicals and polymers. The new “electrifying synthesis” technologies, which combine traditional synthetic chemistry and electrochemistry, bring us a step closer to a more sustainable future.
As a result of several chemical and physical changes, metals that are subjected to direct exposure to water, air, or other corrosive media are inclined to damage. This results in environmental issues and huge resource waste.
In October 2017, tech giant Yahoo! disclosed a data breach that had leaked sensitive information of over 3 billion user accounts, exposing them to identity theft.
Scientists create quantum technology platform. The brilliant blue of the Hope Diamond is caused by small impurities in its crystal structure. Similar diamond impurities are also giving hope to scientists looking to create materials that can be used for quantum computing and quantum sensing.
Researchers at Florida State University's Center for Advanced Power Systems (CAPS), in collaboration with Colorado-based Advanced Conductor Technologies, have demonstrated a new, ready-to-use superconducting cable system -- an improvement to superconductor technology that drives the development of technologies such as all-electric ships or airplanes.
Scientists achieve important milestone in making quantum computing more effective.
Dr. Edwin L. Thomas, professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, and a team of researchers from Texas A&M University and Yonsei University recently discovered a helicoidal-shaped defect in layered polymers, uncovering how solvents can diffuse through layers and produce color changes.
University of Cincinnati biologists found that a double layer of silk in combination with a surgical mask can enhance its ability to prevent the spread of viruses like COVID-19.
In an article recently published in the journal ACS Applied Energy Materials, researchers discussed the harvesting and application of human kinetic energy.
Europe’s largest advanced and nano materials event returns on 29th and 30th June 2022 at the NEC in Birmingham. Previous years have seen over 4500+ attendees, 300+ exhibitors, and 100+ speakers.
