A group of researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) developed a high-performance ultrathin polymeric insulator for…
Scientists in Haifa and Saarbrücken have now succeeded in replicating the combination of calcium carbonate and biopolymeric compounds which nature took…
By applying extreme pressure in a diamond anvil cell to metal films on diamond, researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have now…
Dendrites form when metallic lithium takes root on a battery's anode and begins growing haphazardly. If the dendrites grow too large, they can puncture the…
Amalgam, also called silver amalgam filling, is a reasonably strong material, but the disadvantage of silver amalgam is that they contain mercury, which can…
Graphene is a two-dimensional (2D) one-atom-thick sheet of carbon crystals that has many extraordinary properties in terms of its strength, electrical and…
The researchers wanted to find a better way to make coatings that can be painted onto surfaces to conduct electricity or convert electricity into hydrogen…
At the moment, however, potential applications are facing a fundamental problem: how does heat propagate inside these sheets of materials that are no more than…
While the pattern for making a wearable fabric battery has already been laid out, it’s now time to select the threads that will turn a textile into an energy…
Detecting neutrons is key to counterterrorism activities, such as screening cargo containers, as well as other vital applications in nuclear power…
The devices showed vast improvement in efficiency over comparable devices using the earlier “wonder material” graphene.
What does a graphite or lead pencil have to do with a spectacular discovery in the world of materials research? Graphene is a single layer of carbon just one…
Even more innovative together: Scientists of the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials (IFAM) and experts of the Infiana…
In science, it’s commonly known that materials can change in a number of ways when subjected to different temperatures, pressures or other environmental forces.
Superatom is a combination of two or more atoms that form a stable structural fragment and possess unique physical and chemical properties. Systems, that…
Within the ExKoll project, the Durability Analysis Group at Fraunhofer ISE investigated the economic feasibility of polymer collectors and performed life-cycle…
