Some materials are like people. Let them relax in the sun for a little while and they perform a lot better.
However, when these particles become trapped within a solar material before they can fully separate, it can diminish the ability of the material to convert…
“Understanding how damage occurs to the material of a component while is placed under realistic mechanical loads is one of the key questions in materials…
Electrocatalysts are important for many industrial processes as they enhance the conversion of electrical energy into chemical energy and thus help to store…
There are two options when it comes to curing painted components: Either you can dry them with warmth, which takes a relatively long time and requires a lot of…
The wires also function as sensors and can sense, for example, when the gripper needs to readjust or tighten its grip.
Dr. Oliver Schwarz at Fraunhofer IPA explains: »Traditional forceps always exert the greatest pressure at the tip. For biologists and medical professionals…
It's easy and economical to make shiny pellets of graphite from functionalized graphene, according to scientists at Rice University.
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University used a light-sensitive iridium-palladium catalyst to make “sequential” polymers, using visible light to change…
Astronomers have observed that galaxies rotate with such great speed they should be torn apart, yet they are not. It is as if some hidden mass is holding the…
These nanowires, made of indium gallium arsenide, could be useful for a wide range of applications in a field scientists have termed optoelectronics, which…
This discovery, published in Physical Review Letters, promises to improve the understanding of useful yet unusual physical and chemical behaviors that arise in…
The recent work of Dr. Kenneth Beyerlein, a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Structure and Dynamics (MPSD) in Hamburg, provides a new approach to…
Lithium and cobalt are fundamental components of present lithium-ion batteries. Analysis by researchers at the Helmholtz Institute Ulm (HIU) of the Karlsruhe…
An intriguing question is whether it is possible to prepare a borophene monolayer with a pure honeycomb lattice. Honeycomb borophene will naturally host Dirac…
The team's work with QTIs was born out of the decade-old understanding of the properties of a class of materials called topological insulators. “TIs are…
