Researchers from McGill University and Université de Montréal have suggested that black phosphorus could emerge as a strong contender to silicon as it allows more transistors to be packed on a chip.
Physicists at University of California, Berkeley have utilized graphene to develop innovative ultrasonic microphones and loudspeakers that are extremely lightweight. These devices allow humans to imitate the ability of dolphins and bats which utilize sound to communicate and measure the speed and distance of objects around them.
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (MPI-P) and the Johannes Gutenberg University (JGU) have developed a new ultrafast terahertz spectroscopy that enables observation of magnetotransport in metals at the fundamental level.
Researchers have developed a new porous solid lithium ion battery (LIB) that has an improved performance and is free of risks associated with overheating.
A research team led by the University of Cambridge has discovered that a single material could exhibit dual metal-insulator properties at the same time.
Picosun Oy, the leading provider of high quality Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) solutions for industrial manufacturing, and Carleton University, Canada, report uniform ALD gold deposition on complete silicon wafers.
MIT’s Kripa Varanasi and David Smith developed a liquid-impregnated coating known as LiquiGlide that serves as a slippery barrier between a viscous liquid and a surface in 2009. The coating technology has now been licensed to a major consumer-goods company.
Chemists at Professor Krzysztof Matyjaszewski’s lab at Carnegie Mellon University have developed novel methods for characterizing 3D macroporous hydrogels (3DOM hydrogels), which could enable development of new “smart” responsive materials. These materials could be used for various applications, including tissue engineering scaffolds, chemical detectors, carbon capture absorbents, and as catalysts.
A research team including a physicist at the University of Waterloo has explained the formation of glass at the molecular level, thus providing a potential solution to a long-standing problem.
Researchers from the University of Freiburg, Germany, have developed a new method that utilizes magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for visualizing the load-induced deformations that occur at the junction between a plant’s stems and its branches. This junction, called as plant ramifications, could provide new insights towards designing new lightweight, fibre-reinforced, branched materials for a wide range of applications including architecture, airplanes, cars and bicycles.
