The first self-healing polymer has been produced by material scientists at RIKEN using a commercially available compound.
A novel growth technique has been developed for hybrid perovskites that could have a huge impact on clean energy storage devices.
At the Public University of Navarre (UPNA/NUP), scientists, who belong to the Smart Cities (ISC) and InaMat2 institutes, have remotely handled a composite that has been made out of thermoplastic and iron powder utilizing heat and magnetic fields. This helps achieve a “degree of control never seen before.”
Understanding how water droplets spread and coalesce is essential for scenarios in everyday life, such as raindrops falling off cars, planes, and roofs, and for applications in energy generation, aerospace engineering, and microscale cell adhesion. However, these phenomena are difficult to model and challenging to observe experimentally.
MIT researchers have designed a scalable solution that could transform solar cell technology and create new opportunities when it comes to producing solar energy.
Scientists have measured the highest toughness ever recorded, of any material, while investigating a metallic alloy made of chromium, cobalt, and nickel (CrCoNi).
Advances in battery technology in recent decades have radically changed the world we live in, powering a vast array of devices in key applications, from smartphones and laptops to medical devices and electric vehicles, a...
University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers have discovered a new method to move objects using ultrasound waves. The research opens the door for using contactless manipulation in industries such as manufacturing and robotics, where devices wouldn't need a built-in power source in order to move.
Raman spectroscopy is long established as a non-destructive chemical analysis technique capable of providing detailed compositional information. The technique is also capable of distinguishing between allotropes of the s...
As far as solar cells are concerned, a sunny, bright, cloudless day might look like the perfect setting. However, too much sun, and too much heat, have the potential to actually decrease photovoltaic efficiency.
