When two scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology brought black lights and glow powder into the Maryland State Police crime lab, they weren't setting up a laser tag studio or nightclub.
Mobility is a key parameter for semiconductor performance and relates to how quickly and easily electrons can move inside a substance.
New battery technology involving microwaves may provide an avenue for renewable energy conversion and storage.
A team of researchers from Yale-NUS College, in collaboration with scientists in Sweden, has found that bisulphate species in the exhaust stream are strongly connected to decreasing the effectiveness of exhaust remediation catalysts in diesel engines.
Lithium ion batteries have already become an integral part of our everyday life. However, our energy-hungry society demands longer life, faster charging, and lighter batteries for a variety of applications from electric vehicles to portable electronics, including lightening the load a soldier carries as numerous electronics become adopted by the Army.
Many materials that we use every day are not sustainable. Some are harmful to plants or animals, others contain rare elements that will not always be as readily available as they are today. A great hope for the future is to achieve different material properties by using novel organic molecules.
Noble metals (e.g., platinum) are often used as catalysts in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) of fuel cell cathodes.
Acyl fluorides are organic compounds that contain a fluorine atom in their structure. These compounds have recently gained much attention in transition-metal catalysis due to their stability and selective reactivity.
Electrocatalysis is one of the most studied topics in the field of material science, because it is extensively involved in many important energy-related processes, such as the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) for fuel cells, the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) for green hydrogen production, and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for metal-air batteries.
Materials that integrate quantum magnetism and topological electronic properties have presently attracted a great deal of interest, specifically for the quantum many-body physics that are likely to unfold in them and also for potential applications in electronic components.
