The design of lithium-ion batteries has been altered by researchers in the United States in order to include slits along the electrodes. This is considered to be a feature which may lessen the risk of battery failure during automobile accidents.
Lina Hockaday, Senior Engineer in Pyrometallurgy at Mintek’s New Technology Group in South Africa, suggests that solar thermal reactors, able to attain temperatures up to 1200 °C, could almost eliminate emissions from processing manganese ore fines, by using solar sintering.
Gases have been used throughout industry. Natural gas, for instance, is "cracked" in refineries to make products like acetylene.
While a frame is capable of providing structural support for a house and the chassis has the potential to provide shape and strength for a car, a team of Penn State engineers are certain that they have a way for creating the structural framework for growing living tissue with the help of an off-the-shelf 3D printer.
Researchers from Sandia National Laboratories have identified a big hurdle to progressing solid-state lithium-ion battery performance in small electronics: the movement of lithium ions across battery interfaces.
Scientists have created a water cloaking concept hinged on electromagnetic forces that has the ability to eliminate the wake of an object, thereby considerably minimizing its drag while at the same time assisting it in evading detection.
A study, carried out by EPFL, reports that adding guanidinium into perovskite solar cells stabilizes their efficiency at 19% for 1000 hours under full-sunlight testing circumstances. Details of the study have been published in Nature Energy.
UC Berkeley physicists state that an individual’s physical attraction to hot bodies is real. To be clear, the physicists are not talking about sexual attraction towards a “hot” human body. However, the researchers have demonstrated that a glowing object in fact attracts atoms, opposing to what most people – including physicists– would guess.
For more than six and a half decades, niobium boride (NbB) has been regarded a typical example of a superconducting material. This presumption has been noted down in manuals related to physics of condensed matter and scientific articles journals, and has at present been challenged in a research carried out by scientists from the University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil, and from San Diego State University, United States.
Following the starting signal, two electrons speed off in opposite directions. The one that wins the race is hardly seven attoseconds (7x10-18 seconds) ahead. It has been impossible to measure the difference till now as it is very small. However, that difference is brought about by chirality, a hallmark of molecules responsible for emitting electrons.
