Researchers have created a material that is able to prevent liquids and gases from penetrating the material and protect vital components. While flexible batteries are one potential application for this new wonder material, the team claims that other devices using liquids or showing sensitivity to oxygen exposure will benefit from this using the new technology.
Scientists have found the secret behind a property of solid materials known as ferroelectrics, showing that quasiparticles moving in wave-like patterns among vibrating atoms carry enough heat to turn the material into a thermal switch when an electrical field is applied externally.
The researchers from Lithuania and Cyprus claim that the energy payback period of using phase change materials, new technology in the construction industry, is the shortest in a colder climate
Researchers from the University of Cambridge and University College London (UCL) have discovered a new type of ice that resembles liquid water the most out of all the forms, and which may hold the key to understanding this most well-known of liquids.
Lithium-ion batteries have revolutionized electronics and enabled an accelerating shift toward clean energy.
Researchers have designed an innovative, new building material with chameleon-like properties that is able to change its infrared color and the amount of heat it emits or absorbs based on the outside temperature.
Due to the widespread usage of lithium-ion batteries in consumer devices, vehicles, and electricity storage facilities, researchers have been attempting to increase their strength, efficiency, and durability.
Researchers use cutting-edge X-ray techniques to observe how an operating solid-state battery degrades.
Investigating the interplay between the structure of water molecules that have been incorporated into layered materials such as clays and the configuration of ions in such materials has long proved a great experimental challenge.
One of the world's most important artificial materials is back in vogue because scientists are harnessing its properties for new and diverse future applications such as space navigation and farming.
