A team of researchers from the University of Rostock in Germany has developed a new way to rapidly produce high strength metallic alloys, at a lower cost using…
Researchers of the Electronic Properties of Materials Group at the University of Vienna have now paved the way for the integration of graphene into the current…
In the quest for the production of renewable and clean energy, photoelectrochemical cells (PECs) constitute a sort of a Holy Grail. PECs are devices able of…
No, it's not “flubber” — it's a hydrogel, and now scientists at The University of Akron are exploring new biomedical uses for this polymer-based product.Dr….
DuPont™ Kalrez® AeroSeal™ 7800 perfluoroelastomer parts help minimizing corrosion of titanium and stainless steel for longer part life. DuPont™ Vespel®…
Coated fabrics have been used in many applications such as agriculture, geotextiles, building and construction, medical, filtration and protective clothing….
Dr. Mitsunori Kurahashi, a Principal Researcher of the NIMS Nano Characterization Unit, and Dr. Yasushi Yamauchi, a Group Leader in the same unit, presented…
And when perfected, this approach might also cook up the solar cells in a microwave oven similar to the one in most kitchens.Engineers at Oregon State…
But indium is also rare and expensive, and it requires a costly deposition process to make opto-electronic devices and makes for a brittle electrode. Replacing…
Biomaterials are increasingly being used to replace human organs and tissues. Since biomaterials are susceptible to microbial colonization, silver is often…
After several years of knowledge exchange and a first successful joint development in the field of carbon nanotubes actuators, which resulted in demonstration…
The research results were published in the scientific journal Chemistry – A European Journal (DOI: 10.1002/chem.201204101). This finding potentially simplifies…
Material scientists expect the new multifunctional properties of hybrid nanostructures will transform the development of high-performance devices, including…
The compound of lanthanum, cobalt and oxygen (LaCoO3) has been a puzzle for over 50 years, due to its strange behavior. While most materials tend to lose…
Replacing traditional rigid silicon wafers with semiconductors made from flexible polymers would herald an age of advanced, ‘wearable’ electronics. Switching…
A ‘sandwich’ of three iron alloy layers could help to create computer hard drives that can store more data than ever before. Tiejun Zhou and co-workers at the…
