For the first time, Researchers from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) have developed a nanomaterial produced from nanoparticles of a titanium oxide compound—namely, Ti4O7 (having an exceptionally large surface area)—and analyzed its usage as a cathode material in lithium-sulfur batteries.
The value of a work of art is highly dependent upon its authenticity, and a spectroscopic technique could allow for a new non-destructive way to confirm a painting’s authenticity, according to a new paper published in the Journal of Physical Chemistry.
Researchers are progressively analyzing the probability of using ionic liquids in supercapacitors, batteries, and transistors. Ionic liquids are salts produced by integrating negatively charged molecules, or anions, with positively charged molecules, or cations.
Scientists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have recently unearthed distinctive characteristics of strontium niobate. Strontium niobate is a peculiar semiconductor that exhibits photocatalytic activity as well as metallic type conduction.
Scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have synthesized and accurately quantified an X-ray spectrum by employing an innovative, ultra-modern device. It took around 20 years to construct the device they employed for measuring the X-rays, and the device is sure to assist the researchers to carry out the world’s most precise measurements of materials to be used in different places ranging from bridges to pharmaceuticals.
Large area phase map of a weld margin in a duplex stainless steel, with zoomed IPF map showing the actual resolution. Sample was ~ 5 mm x 3 mm and 50,000,000 points were collected at 2000 points per second
With the help of an atomic force microscope, researchers from the University of Basel's Swiss Nanoscience Institute network have managed to study the strength of hydrogen bonds in a single molecule for the first time. They have reported their findings in the Science Advances journal.
Liquid crystals are used not only for producing mood rings, smart glass, and transitional lenses but also cell membranes, mucus, and slug slime. At present, a research team is attempting to achieve an in-depth knowledge of the way in which liquid crystals, when integrated with bacteria, form living materials and the manner in which they interact with the bacteria to organize and move.
Materials researchers from the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland have worked in cooperation with the Université Grenoble Alpes, France, to develop a technique for enabling advancement of the lithium-sulfur battery. Theoretically, lithium-sulfur batteries have the ability to provide remarkably more energy when compared to the currently used traditional lithium-ion batteries.
In a finding that means a lot to the specialty chemicals industries such as pharmaceuticals, a research team including scientists from the Rice University as well as the California Institute of Technology has successfully accomplished a long-pending analysis of producing right-handed and left-handed versions of a molecular sieve, the highly used industrial, solid materials.
