Prof. Matsuda research group at Department of Electrical and Electronic Information Engineering, Toyohashi University of Technology, revealed that an indentation test can effectively evaluate the mechanical properties of a sulfide solid electrolyte for all-solid-state lithium-ion secondary batteries.
A honeybee’s tongue, which is densely covered in hairs, is used to lap up nectar and other liquids. Scientists recently reported that those hairs are water repellent.
New structural discovery has a lot of potential for accessing new functional materials for environmental and energy purposes. Although cage-based porous materials, such as metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs), are gaining interest as a developing functional platform for a variety of applications, packing patterns that are rarely foreseeable and appear uncontrollable remain an unresolved subject.
A problem in materials design is that in natural as well as artificial materials, volume occasionally drops, or surges, with rising temperature. While there are mechanical reasons for this occurrence for certain materials, a general insight into why this occasionally occurs is still lacking.
Writing in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, a team of researchers from Spain have investigated the synthesis and properties of Aza-Triangulene. Their study opens the possibility of fabricating novel hydrocarbon structures including reactive open-shell molecules for cutting-edge applications in advanced materials science research.
The experimental elucidation of the structures at the interface between a working catalyst and the reacting molecules is the key to a fundamental understanding of heterogeneous catalysis.
Over a three-month period, the average car in the U.S. produces one metric ton of carbon dioxide. Multiply that by all the gasoline-powered cars on Earth, and what does that look like- An insurmountable problem.
Over the last 35 years, scientists have investigated a special type of materials called superconductors. When cooled to the correct temperatures, these materials allow electricity to flow without resistance.
The study questions the reason behind gas bubbles in viscoelastic liquids (like polymer and protein solutions) rising so much quicker compared to what is anticipated—an open question with great relevance for industrial production processes.
Do two promising structural materials corrode at very high temperatures when in contact with "liquid metal fuel breeders" in fusion reactors- Researchers of Tokyo Tech, YNU and QST now have the answer. This high-temperature compatibility of reactor structural materials with the liquid breeder-;a lining around the reactor core that absorbs and traps the high energy neutrons produced in the plasma inside the reactor-;is key to the success of a fusion reactor design.
