Argonne researchers have developed a new class of electrolyte additives for lithium-sulfur batteries, improving battery performance by suppressing the unwanted migration of polysulfide ions and reducing the uneven distribution and occurrence of chemical reactions within the system.
Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign successfully integrated flexible electronics with a three-ply, self-deployable boom that weighs only about 20 grams.
Led by interns from multiple DOE programs, a newly expanded dataset allows researchers to use easy-to-obtain measurements to determine the elemental composition of a promising carbon storage mineral.
Funded by the Department of Energy, these centers are part of an effort that brings together national laboratories, universities and industry to invent and accelerate novel microelectronics technologies to operate efficiently or in extreme environments.
Researchers have unveiled groundbreaking insights into the complex vibrations of tiny, curved shells crafted from functionally graded materials (FGMs). These microshells, integral to micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and biomedical devices, exhibit distinct behaviors at the microscale due to their unique composition and dimensions. By delving into factors such as material composition, material imperfections, and structural scale, the study marks a pivotal step toward designing more efficient and reliable microsystems, where mastering frequency responses is essential for optimal performance.
Dr. Chi-Young Jung's research team from the Hydrogen Research & Demonstration Center at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has successfully developed a method to analyze the microstructure of carbon fiber paper, a key material in hydrogen fuel cells, at a speed 100 times faster than existing methods.
Chad Parish works in the Low Activation Materials Development and Analysis laboratory at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Using microscopy and microstructural characterization, he reveals the intricate atomic structures of materials essential for developing safer and more economical nuclear reactors.
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory are using microwave radar reflection to nondestructively detect and measure the moisture content of materials within walls without removing drywall or cladding. This also expedites moisture identification and enables mold growth to be treated in the early stages.
University of Chicago President Paul Alivisatos has been named one of this year’s winners of the Enrico Fermi Presidential Award—one of the most prestigious science and technology honors bestowed by the U.S. government—the White House announced Dec. 19.
The Foresight Institute is recognizing Argonne Physicist Saw Wai Hla with the 2024 Feynman Prize for his research on molecular machines and motors, atomically precise rotation of rare-earth complexes and analysis of a single atom with X-rays.
Researchers from the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) Ames National Laboratory and Iowa State University are leading efforts to overcome materials challenges that could make commercial fusion power a reality.
Solid phase manufacturing can create new custom metal alloys through an innovative process called solid phase alloying, researchers from PNNL report.
A team of scientists has created a new shape-changing polymer that could transform how future soft materials are constructed.
The Hong Kong Institute for Advanced Study (HKIAS) hosted its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 19 November 2024, bringing together Senior Fellows from across the globe to discuss strategic advancements in research and international collaboration. Chaired by our HKIAS Chairman Professor Serge Haroche, the meeting focused on strengthening global partnerships between the City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) and the home institutions of our Senior Fellows, recruiting leading scholars to HKIAS, and preparing for the Institute's 10th-anniversary celebration in 2025, etc.
A team of interdisciplinary scientists from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering under the College of Design and Engineering at NUS has developed flexible fibres with self-healing, light-emitting and magnetic properties. The Scalable Hydrogel-clad Ionotronic Nickel-core Electroluminescent (SHINE) fibre is bendable, emits highly visible light, and can automatically repair itself after being cut, regaining nearly 100 per cent of its original brightness. In addition, the fibre can be powered wirelessly and manipulated physically using magnetic forces.
Check out the second of a two-part series exploring how artificial intelligence helps researchers from around the world perform cutting-edge science with the lab’s state-of-the-art facilities and instruments. Read part one here. In this part you’ll learn how AI is playing a key role in helping SLAC researchers find new galaxies and tiny neutrinos, and discover new drugs.
From 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM this December 13-15, 2024 Chulalongkorn University invites everyone to experience a special event at the Night Museum at Chula, where you can explore the museum at night within the university campus. This year’s theme is “Science meets Art – Art meets Science,” blending the beauty of science and art to offer a fresh perspective for learning and inspiration, all set against a spectacular atmosphere of lights, colors, and sounds that will enhance your museum experience at Chula at night.
