2+ day, 1+ min ago   (524+ words) Researchers turned food waste into a biochar-based membrane that stores heat, improves heat transfer and manages moisture. A new membrane made partly from food waste could help buildings store heat, move it more efficiently and manage moisture at the same…...

2+ day, 8+ hour ago   (547+ words) These vacancies activate a pre-formed, previously blocked migration pathway for lithium cations, transforming pure LTO into a superior ion conductor. In manufacturing, perfection is usually the goal. A single microscopic flaw can ruin a microchip, crack a structural beam, or…...

3+ day, 1+ hour ago   (500+ words) Japan’s Asahi Kasei developed a method that uses lithium carbonate to offset lithium losses in silicon-based batteries. Japan’s Asahi Kasei has developed a battery technology that uses lithium carbonate as an extra lithium source to reduce energy losses in lithium-ion…...

3+ day, 8+ hour ago   (551+ words) The structural shift to graphite absorbs collision energy, enhancing the material’s impact resistance. A new manufacturing technique developed at Rice University stabilizes diamond during thermal processing at low pressures, resulting in a dense, resilient composite material. The research, published in…...

5+ day, 22+ hour ago   (456+ words) A 3D-printable cellulose hydrogel continued sensing movement after seven days at -13°F, resisting freezing and deformation. Wearable sensors could become more reliable in freezing conditions with a new cellulose-based hydrogel that continued detecting movement after being exposed to -13°F for…...

6+ day, 20+ hour ago   (290+ words) Scientists have developed innovative hybrid material that can produce hydrogen peroxide more efficiently. Researchers in the United States have developed a new material to produce hydrogen peroxide more efficiently Developed by a team led by the U.S Department of Energyâ…...

1+ week, 3+ day ago   (528+ words) Researchers at Rice University have experimentally proven that extreme, nanoscale wrinkles in graphene generate local electric charges. It shows clear evidence of flexoelectricity (an electric charge generated by uneven bending) in single-atom-thick materials. Altering the physical shape of ultra-thin materials,…...

1+ week, 3+ day ago   (572+ words) Researchers reshaped sodium-ion battery cathode grains to reduce stress, suppress cracking and improve cycling life. Researchers have found a way to make sodium-ion batteries more durable by changing the shape of their cathode crystals rather than altering their chemical composition....

1+ week, 4+ day ago   (336+ words) What if you could turn sunlight and water directly into hydrogen? SunHydrogen is testing that idea with modules that have now exceeded 10% efficiency. The companies have now signed a 24-month technology collaboration agreement that will test whether SunHydrogen’s modules can…...

1+ week, 4+ day ago   (521+ words) The researchers demonstrated the method in both 2D and 3D structures. Researchers in South Korea have recently developed a novel 3D printing method that allows soft actuators made from a single material to stretch or contract when exposed to heat. The project was…...
