5+ day, 19+ min ago   (375+ words) By weakening interactions that normally tie electrolyte components into extended aggregates, researchers created an unusual nanoscale structure that could change how lithium metal batteries balance energy density, durability, and safety. Lithium metal batteries could achieve specific energies above 500 Wh kg…...

1+ week, 3+ day ago   (150+ words) The process is currently semi-automated because a human operator must still occasionally step in to condition or repair the microscope tip if it becomes unstable. Additionally, construction is time-sensitive; building the 37-molecule lattice required approximately 900 iterations over 25 hours, with each…...

3+ week, 3+ hour ago   (310+ words) Microscopic analysis showed that the composite fibers had an outer diameter of 1.03 micrometers, a core diameter of 0.54 micrometers, and a shell thickness of 0.25 micrometers. Gel permeation chromatography confirmed that the mild, non-thermal fabrication process preserved polymer chain integrity without significant…...

1+ mon, 4+ day ago   (255+ words) This composite system strongly favored CO formation, with CO accounting for approximately 99.9% of the reported products after 90 minutes. Intermediates, such as carboxylic acid complexes, were proposed to facilitate stepwise reduction to CO, highlighting the authors' proposed synergistic interactions among TiO2, CDs,…...

1+ mon, 1+ week ago   (211+ words) Dynamic light scattering revealed that M54-B200 vesicles exhibited reversible aggregation behavior in response to changes in calcium ion concentration during crystallization; they aggregated when Ca2+ levels were high and redispersed as Ca2+ was depleted, leading to delayed occlusion compared to S56-B500 spheres, which remained…...
