A new technique builds inorganic and polymer battery electrolytes at the same time, in the same vessel. This 'one-pot' in-situ method creates a controlled, homogeneous blend, pairing the conductivity ...

Humans have been chemically modifying their world for far longer than you might think. Long before they had the slightest idea of what was happening chemically, they were turning clay into bricks, ...

The U.S. Department of Energy Ames National Laboratory will welcome a new director this summer who hails from Washington ...

An international research project, led by The University of Warwick and the University of Lille, has used nanotube compression to transform the underlying chemistry and physics of a compound, creating ...

Scientists at the University of Surrey embedded alumina nanoparticles into perovskites to trap unwanted iodine compounds that tend to supercharge perovskites’ oxidation process. The team successfully ...

Newly achieved precise control over light emitted from incredibly tiny sources, a few nanometers in size, embedded in two-dimensional materials could lead to remarkably high-resolution monitors and ...

Tungsten carbide is a great material, durable enough to cut most metals and withstand tough physical and chemical conditions. In most situations, if tungsten carbide isn’t good enough ...

Japanese researchers have made a groundbreaking development in fuel cell technology with huge potential for cleaner energy.

UNC-Greensboro forms multi-disciplinary institute to tap the growing North Carolina new-age battery industry and prepare ...
