Researchers at McGill University have conducted ultrafast electron diffraction experiments to study the semiconductor-metal transition of vanadium dioxide (VO2), during which they observed the reorganizations of the atomic positions of the material and its electron distribution, simultaneously. This transformation occurs at femtosecond time scales, which is in the range of one millionth of a billionth of a second.
Researchers from the University of Innsbruck and the University of Leicester have collaborated to develop a new method of forming charged molecules.
Researchers at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory have discovered that a cubic garnet material (LLZO) could be used as a critical separator material in order to develop high-energy batteries.
A group of researchers from the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard have designed large DNA crystals with an accurately defined depth and sophisticated features, paving the way for new and advanced nanodevices.
A “smart" lithium-ion battery developed by scientists at Stanford University has a warning system that alerts users in advance if the battery is getting overheated and may burst into flames.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2014 to the inventors of Super-Resolved Fluorescence Microscopy.
Crystalline materials capable of absorbing and storing oxygen in large quantities have been synthesized by the University of Southern Denmark researchers. It is also possible to release the stored oxygen from the material whenever and wherever required by subjecting it to gentle heating or low oxygen pressures.
A new mechanism called “stable energetic embedding” of molecules and atoms within ice surfaces has been discovered by a group of scientists from the Loyola University and University of Chicago.
Droplets are tiny spherical drops of fluid that are incapable of moving on its own. However, researchers from Southern Denmark University and Institute of Chemical Technology, Czech Republic have succeeded in making alcohol droplets move in water. They believe that this invention may serve as a breakthrough in potential applications of drug delivery.
Researchers from multiple institutions have joined together in an endeavor to develop better multicomponent catalytic processes and materials for producing more effective and cost-effective materials such as polymers and chemicals. The National Science Foundation has awarded nearly $1.5 million for this project under the Designing Materials to Revolutionize and Engineer our Future initiative.
