The research team led by Dr. Hyung-Suk Oh and Dr. Woong Hee Lee at the Clean Energy Research Center at Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has developed a silver-silica composite catalyst capable of reversible local pH control through a silica-hydroxide cycle, inspired by Earth鈥檚 natural cycles.
McMaster University and Neutrons Canada celebrated the launch of the Canadian Neutron Beam Laboratory (CNBL) 鈥� a new suite of facilities built to advance neutron beam research in Canada. Neutron beams are an essential tool for materials research and innovation. They can penetrate deep into dense materials like metals, making it possible to visualize the interior of an object at the atomic scale without physically damaging it.
Robots that can sense touch and perceive temperature differences? An unexpected material might just make this a reality. At Empa's Laboratory for High-Performance Ceramics, researchers are developing soft and intelligent sensor materials based on ceramic particles.
The Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has developed a cost-effective and eco-friendly recycling process that addresses the limitations of traditional direct recycling methods for spent batteries.
The behavior of catalysts that promote chemical reactions is not always straightforward. Using a combination of experiments and computer simulations, scientists now understand how oxygen affects the way the catalyst copper oxide reacts with hydrogen versus carbon monoxide gases and how to control and enhance related chemical reactions.
As population growth and extreme temperatures strain the United States power grid, utilities and equipment manufacturers are looking for ways to increase the amount of electricity the grid can carry. The Powerline Conductor Accelerated Testing Facility, or PCAT, located at the Department of Energy鈥檚 Oak Ridge National Laboratory, is one of the only facilities in the country where companies can try out new transmission line technologies for long time periods in extremes of wind, weather, temperature and electrical load conditions.
Case Western Reserve University has a new offer for the 25 to 30 students each year who are named finalists for the prestigious Hertz Fellowship but are not ultimately selected as Hertz Fellows: matriculate at CWRU and receive full financial benefits.
Researchers who previously demonstrated a cooling fabric coating now report on additional tests of a treated polyester fabric in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces. Fabric treated with the team鈥檚 chalk-based coating kept the air underneath up to 6 degrees Fahrenheit cooler in warmer urban environments.
Researchers at the University of Minnesota have achieved a new material that will be pivotal in making the next generation of high-power electronics faster, transparent and more efficient.
Join us for an insightful lecture by Professor Zhongfan Liu, Boya Chair Professor at Peking University and President of the Beijing Graphene Institute (BGI). Professor Liu will discuss how BGI is rapidly becoming a global leader in graphene materials, with innovations like graphene-skinned glass fibers, single crystal graphene wafers, and more!
Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists are developing a formula for success 鈥� by studying how a new type of battery fails. The team鈥檚 goal is the design for long-term storage of wind and solar energy, which are produced intermittently, enabling their broader use as reliable energy sources for the electric grid.
Researchers from the Florida State University Department of Physics and FSU-headquartered National High Magnetic Field Laboratory have published new findings that reveal how various physical manipulations of graphene, such as layering and twisting, impact its optical properties and conductivity. The study was published in the journal Nano Letters.
