Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have furthered a new type of soft material that can change shape in response to light, a discovery that could advance "soft machines" for a variety of fields, from robotics to medicine.
Superhydrophobic surfaces, characterized by their ability to repel water with a contact angle above 150° and a sliding angle below 10°, offer a range of applications from self-cleaning and anti-corrosion to oil/water separation and droplet manipulation.
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have discovered that adding a layer of magnesium improves the properties of tantalum, a superconducting material that shows great promise for building qubits, the basis of quantum computers.
Multiverse Computing, a global leader in value-based quantum computing solutions, and Single Quantum, the global market leader in superconducting nanowire single photon detectors, today announced an industrial materials science research and development project under a USD $1.4 million contract with the German Aerospace Center’s DLR Quantum Computing Initiative (DLR QCI).
All objects that have temperature release thermal radiation, which is electromagnetic radiation. The solar radiation spectrum is the most representative type of thermal radiation since it enters the Earth and contributes to the greenhouse effect.
Technology to recover valuable metals from wastewater generated in various industries such as plating, semiconductors, automobiles, batteries, and renewable energy is important not only for environmental protection but also for economic reasons.
The production of aluminium generates around 180 million tonnes of toxic red mud every year. Scientists at the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung, a centre for iron research, have now shown how green steel can be produced from aluminium production waste in a relatively simple way.
Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry (TIPC), headed by Professor Ercang Luo, and their associates have created a cutting-edge heat-driven thermoacoustic refrigerator (HDTR) with a unique bypass configuration that greatly boosts this technology's efficiency.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction by electrocatalysis is thought to be a useful tactic for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the energy problem.
Researchers at the University of California, Irvine and Los Alamos National Laboratory, publishing in the latest issue of Nature Communications, describe the discovery of a new method that transforms everyday materials like glass into materials scientists can use to make quantum computers.
