An international team led by Xiang-Feng Zhou and Artem R. Oganov, PhD, theoretical crystallographers in the Department of Geosciences and Department of Physics and Astronomy at Stony Brook University, have established the structure of one of the most important high-energy-density materials, magnesium borohydride or Mg(BH4)2. Their findings, “First-Principles Determination of the Structure of Magnesium Borohydride,” have been published in the December 13 edition of Physical Review Letters.
The Irish Centre for Composites Research (IComp) at the University of Limerick has been granted over €1million in research funding by Enterprise Ireland’s Commercialisation Fund for 3rd Level Researchers. The grant will fund three different research projects – all connected with composite material applications.

Understanding the arrangement of atoms in a solid — one of solids' fundamental properties — is vital to advanced materials research. For decades, two camps of researchers have been working to develop methods to understand these so-called crystal structures. "Solution" methods, championed by experimental researchers, draw on data from diffraction experiments, while "prediction" methods of computational materials scientists bypass experimental data altogether.
Investment in basic research and development (R&D) is critical to deploying new material technologies. New material technologies are the key to solving many of society’s toughest challenges. But what is the best way to conduct R&D in an increasingly globalized environment?
A North Carolina State University researcher has taken a “snapshot” of the way particles combine to form carbon-12, the element that makes all life on Earth possible. And the picture looks like a bent arm.
Professor Dr. Claudia Felser has been appointed a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS).
Arch Biopartners Inc today announced that Arch scientists have reported results of a recent study involving Arch peptides and the role they play in reducing initial biofilm formation and surface corrosion on stainless steel.
