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.
Investigations on boron-containing compounds (BCCs) have remarkably grown in medicinal chemistry in the past years. BCCs have been used to treat many maladies, and there have been a few successful cases of using BCCs in treating infectious diseases and cancer.
The behavior of Weyl particles trapped on the surface of Weyl semimetals has been examined by MIPT researchers. Their study was featured in the renowned Rapid Communications section of Physical Review В.
Engineers from the MIT have developed an innovative system which uses only light to control the manner in which water moves over a surface. According to the researchers, the discovery might prove significant in the advancement of technologies such as field systems with the ability to separate water from oil at a drilling rig, or microfluidic diagnostic devices whose valves and channels can be reprogrammed on the go.
Developing “lab on a chip” devices proves to be a significant step forward in future healthcare. Distinct from electronic chips used in computers, these “chips” are small devices into which biological fluids such as urine or blood are introduced to fill explicitly designed microscopic channels comprising biosensors with the ability to detect specific markers of diseases within the fluids and to ensure fast diagnosis.
A method that transformed scientists' ability to control and study materials at the nanoscale may have dramatic involuntary consequences, a new Oxford University research reveals.
Researchers in materials science have created a model capable of accounting for irregularities in how atoms organize themselves at the “grain boundaries”, which refer to the interface where two materials meet.
A new technique for extracting the dynamic and static structure of complex chemical systems has been developed by scientists at the Northwestern University.
Solar panels, a better medical drug, or smooth chocolate all require just the right amount of crystals to make up the material. Now, researchers trying to understand the paths crystals take as they develop have been able to influence that path by adjusting the starting ingredient.
