Certain materials luminesce, changing their color and intensity when exposed to mechanical forces such as rubbing or grinding. These luminescent “mechanochromic” materials can create a range of emission colors in the visible light spectrum, from blue to red. Their color-changes under force are properly documented, and are caused by variations to the molecules’ crystal structures.
LPW Technology Ltd, the market leader in the development, processing and supply of high quality metal powders and software solutions for the Additive Manufacturing (AM) industry, has examined the role of morphology in metal powder characterisation in its latest laboratory services datasheet, ‘Quantitative shape analysis of metal powder samples by morphology’.
Typically X-rays are used by Doctors to see the broken bones inside a patient’s body. Now, Scientists have formulated a new X-ray method to view inside continuously packed nanoparticles, also known as grains, to study dislocations and deformations that affect their properties.
Materials exposed to neutron radiation are likely to experience significant damage, causing containment challenges.
Researchers at Northwestern University have developed a structurally complex material from two basic building blocks that is the lowest-density metal-organic framework ever to be created.
Kids find it fascinating to see glow-in-the-dark objects that can illuminate a dark room without necessitating a light bulb, batteries, or electricity.
TMC, an industry leader in high-performance vibration isolation technology, introduces UltraDamp™, a very-high-damping pneumatic vibration isolation system that is ideal for vibration-sensitive applications with high-force, high- velocity X-Y motorized stages that require fast settling time of the payload.
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.
