Superconductors are materials with no electrical resistance whatsoever, commonly requiring extremely low temperatures. They are used in a wide range of domains, from medical applications to a central role in quantum computers. Superconductivity is caused by specially linked pairs of electrons known as Cooper pairs.
At the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), scientists and their collaborators have found out how next-generation solid-state batteries fail and engineered a novel strategy to make these batteries charge faster and live longer.
Researchers from Chile and the UK have collaborated on a new paper in Materials exploring the use of agar in biodegradable packaging. The paper has important implications for reducing the environmental damage of plastic packaging.
Writing in Polymers, a team of scientists from China have designed a novel module for soft robot applications which incorporates supercoiled polymer artificial muscle strings. In the study, soft robots have been constructed based on the module, laying the groundwork for future research.
In an article recently published in the journal Ceramics International, researchers studied the clays from Alhabia (Almera, Spain) as well as their thermal and ceramic qualities.
Researchers have analysed the properties of an organic polymer with potential applications in flexible electronics and uncovered variations in hardness at the nanoscale, the first time such a fine structure has been observed in this type of material.
A team of researchers recently published a paper in the journal Cleaner Materials that demonstrated the feasibility of using supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) obtained from the calcination of low-grade clay deposits to produce low-carbon cement.
In an article recently published in the journal Additive Manufacturing, researchers discussed the utility of ceramic heat exchangers made by binder jet additive manufacturing for concentrating applications of solar power with thermal energy storage in the molten chlorides.
A paper recently published in the journal ACS Engineering Au demonstrated the characterization of ashes produced from the co-firing of mallee bark/biochar and coal.
A team led by University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers has discovered how subtle structural changes in strontium titanate, a metal oxide semiconductor, can alter the material's electrical resistance and affect its superconducting properties.
