A new class of partially disordered rock salt cathode is a potential breakthrough for lithium-ion batteries and a key to creating low-cost, high-energy storage.

A zinc-air microbattery designed by MIT engineers could enable the deployment of cell-sized, autonomous robots for drug delivery within in the human body, as well as other applications such as locating leaks in gas pipelines.

An international team of scientists, including two researchers who now work in the Center for Advanced Sensor Technology (CAST) at UMBC, has shown that twisted carbon nanotubes can store three times more energy per unit mass than advanced lithium-ion batteries. The finding may advance carbon nanotubes as a promising solution for storing energy in devices that need to be lightweight, compact, and safe, such as…

The hit sci-fi show's adviser and two other researchers discuss its portrayal of scientists and their technologies

Several companies aim to lower the cost of the high-capacity anode material in an effort to dethrone graphite

Researchers have developed a carbon nanotube (CNT) transistor for molecule glasses that facilitates detailed examination of molecular interactions. This innovative technology is poised to open a fresh research direction in nanotechnology and molecular biology.

Carbon materials, due to their appropriate physicochemical characteristics such as high surface area, adjustable pore structure, variable morphology, and multifunctional surface properties based on chemical modifications, low cost, and ease of preparation from various precursors, are ideal carrier materials for functional metal components.

Humanity's quest to explore—and, perhaps eventually, colonize—outer space has prompted a great many ideas about how precisely to go about it.

When Mickael Perrin started out on his scientific career 12 years ago, he had no way of knowing he was conducting research in an area that would be attracting wide public interest only a few years later: Quantum electronics. "At the time, physicists were just starting to talk about the potential of quantum technologies and quantum computers," he recalls.

Physics is filled with mysteries. To find a few worth exploring, look no further than an ice cube. At room temperature, of course, the cube will melt before your eyes. But even far below freezing, ice can shift in barely perceptible ways that scientists are still trying to understand. Using imaging tools at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, researchers have detected a phenomenon…

Traditionally conducted in a lab environment with sophisticated instruments, the study's outcomes laid the groundwork for the development of Henswear.

Graphene nanoribbons have outstanding properties that can be precisely controlled. Researchers from Empa and ETH Zurich, in collaboration with partners from Peking University, the University of Warwick and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, have succeeded in attaching electrodes to individual atomically precise nanoribbons, paving the way for precise characterization of the fascinating ribbons and their…

MIT researchers have found a way to create an innovative, energy-storing material by mixing cement, water, and carbon black. The design is scalable and could be used...

The adverse effects of excess nitrate in water on human productivity and lives have received increasing attention due to the discharge of industrial wastewater and the overuse of farmland fertilizers. An international team of researchers has conducted an in-depth study of the significant need and challenge of efficient nitrate removal.

Although halide perovskite light-emitting devices exhibit exceptional properties, such as high efficiency, high color purity and broad color gamut, their industrial integration generally suffers from the technological complexity of devices' multilayer structure alongside in-operation-induced heating poor stability.

CHASM, a leading worldwide producer of carbon nanotube (CNT) and CNT hybrid materials, has announced the launch of the world's first transparent heaters for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) sensors. These heaters integrate single-wall carbon nanotubes (CNT) and metal micromesh, which provide exceptional optoelectronic performance, surpassing all other CNT or alternative technology products. CHASM will…

By relying on supercooled electronic circuits that switch without electrical resistance and as a consequence generate no excess heat at higher speeds, computer designers will be able to circumvent …

Tiny materials one hundred thousand times smaller than the width of a strand of hair could be used to improve solar cell technology.
