Researchers are progressively analyzing the probability of using ionic liquids in supercapacitors, batteries, and transistors. Ionic liquids are salts produced by integrating negatively charged molecules, or anions, with positively charged molecules, or cations.
A new recipe written by materials scientists explains the procedure for using an oddball enzyme to construct new biomaterials from DNA.
Scientists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have recently unearthed distinctive characteristics of strontium niobate. Strontium niobate is a peculiar semiconductor that exhibits photocatalytic activity as well as metallic type conduction.
Scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have synthesized and accurately quantified an X-ray spectrum by employing an innovative, ultra-modern device. It took around 20 years to construct the device they employed for measuring the X-rays, and the device is sure to assist the researchers to carry out the world’s most precise measurements of materials to be used in different places ranging from bridges to pharmaceuticals.
Liquid crystals are used not only for producing mood rings, smart glass, and transitional lenses but also cell membranes, mucus, and slug slime. At present, a research team is attempting to achieve an in-depth knowledge of the way in which liquid crystals, when integrated with bacteria, form living materials and the manner in which they interact with the bacteria to organize and move.
An oil-based "bath," or support system has been developed by researchers to facilitate precise 3D printing of silicon materials in different shapes.
Under certain circumstances, the movement of atoms via a material can lead to problems. With the help of atomic-resolution electron microscopy, researchers at LiU, for the very time, observed a phenomenon that has escaped from materials scientists for decades.
Performing maintenance operations within a nuclear plant puts extreme stress on equipment, due to very high temperatures that are hard for components to withstand without degrading. Recently, some researchers at MIT and elsewhere have developed a radically new approach to create actuators that could be used in such very hot environments.
Materials researchers from the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland have worked in cooperation with the Université Grenoble Alpes, France, to develop a technique for enabling advancement of the lithium-sulfur battery. Theoretically, lithium-sulfur batteries have the ability to provide remarkably more energy when compared to the currently used traditional lithium-ion batteries.
Light initiates a number of chemical reactions. Experiments conducted at the Laser Centre of the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IPC PAS) in Warsaw and the University of Warsaw's Faculty of Physics have demonstrated for the first time that increasing the intensity of illumination a few reactions can be considerably faster.
