In the world of big data, there are limitations on storing large volumes of information. Typical home-computer hard disk drives use up a lot of power and are limited to a few terabytes per drive. Optical storage media such as Blu-ray and DVD, are energy efficient and inexpensive, however storage densities are very low because of the optical diffraction limit and planar nature of the discs. However, scientists have made progress on creating a 3D diamond chip capable of storing vastly more data compared to existing technologies.
The magnetic properties of materials have inspired technologies from traditional recording tape to advanced hard drives over the years. Scientists are continually pushing to develop new applications from magnetic behavior.
Using a revolutionary computer simulation, the University of Bristol researchers have tested a theory that was devised in the 1950s. The theory explains how atoms suppress crystallization when they arrange themselves into 3D pentagons.
The Asynt MultiCell is a lightweight, high pressure parallel reactor designed for undertaking experiments including carbonylation, hydrogenation, catalysis and supercritical fluid reactions as well as air sensitive material studies.
Chemists from Goethe University have developed a new catalyst to activate hydrogen by introducing boron compounds into a common organic molecule.
The Second Law of Thermodynamics, which states that entropy always increases, is the most inviolable law for over a century and a half of physics. Chaos reigns supreme in this universe. Recently researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Argonne National Laboratory claimed that they have potentially found a small loophole in this well-known Second Law.
Dendrites are whiskers of lithium that grow inside batteries, and they can cause fires like those in the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. They are considered a major issue for next-generation lithium batteries.
Princeton University researchers have developed an innovative method to develop valuable carbon-carbon bonds using ubiquitous but conventionally unreactive carbon-hydrogen bonds. The details of the research have been published in Nature.
Researchers from the University of Sheffield have discovered that legislation proposing the replacement of a common material has led to wider use of an even more toxic substance.
Scientists of the Faculty of Chemistry of the Lomonosov Moscow State University under the leadership of Prof. Yury Teterin and in cooperation with Russian and British colleagues have developed a technique, which provides an opportunity of quantitative evaluation of oxygen coefficient of uranium in complex oxides.
