There's still plenty of room at the bottom to generate piezoelectricity. Engineers at Rice University and their colleagues are showing the way.
Scientists at the University of Virginia School of Medicine and their collaborators have used DNA to overcome a nearly insurmountable obstacle to engineer materials that would revolutionize electronics.
If science and nature were to have a baby, it would surely be the zeolite. This special rock, with its porous structure that traps water inside, also traps atoms and molecules that can cause chemical reactions. That's why zeolites are important as catalysts, or substances that speed up chemical reactions without harming themselves.
Tucked away in the sub-basement of Pitt's Benedum Hall, past the racecar parts spilling into hallways, you'll find a giant machine that looks like a cross between a car garage and the entry port of a sci-fi spaceship. It's a state-of-the-art 3D printer for metal -; the first Gefertec arc605 at any university in the U.S.
The energy sector is a complex industry, with multiple logistic processes which can potentially impact the efficient delivery of alternative energy technologies to both domestic and commercial customers. Now, a new paper in the journal Energies has analyzed these processes, providing a basis for future research in this field.
Boise State University scientists have devised a new method for creating new lithium-ion battery materials.
MIT researchers have developed a method for 3D printing materials with tunable mechanical properties, which can sense how they are moving and interacting with the environment. The researchers create these sensing structures using just one material and a single run on a 3D printer.
Scientists from Donghua University in Shanghai’s College of Materials Science and Engineering have presented a comprehensive and timely review of the uses of silk fibroin as a biomaterial. Their findings have appeared online in a pre-proof paper in the journal Materials Today Bio.
Engineers have designed and successfully tested a more efficient wind sensor for use on drones, balloons and other autonomous aircraft.
Vaccine distribution faces big challenges, as the COVID crisis has shown. Now, a multidisciplinary research team has overcome some of the major issues that plague the distribution of biomedical materials.
