A gaggle of researchers has discovered a approach to stabilize one of the difficult components of lithium-sulfur batteries, bringing the expertise nearer to changing into commercially viable.

A Northwestern College analysis staff has designed and synthesized new supplies with ultrahigh porosity and floor space for the storage of hydrogen and methane for gasoline cell-powered autos. The supplies, a kind of a metal-organic framework (MOF), can retailer considerably extra hydrogen and methane than typical adsorbent supplies at a ...

Researchers have constructed what they imagine is 'the world's most effective single-photon supply.' And they're nonetheless enhancing it. With deliberate upgrades, the equipment might generate upwards of 30 photons at unprecedented efficiencies. Sources of that caliber are exactly what's wanted for optical quantum info functions.

Researchers used a laser approach to completely stress graphene right into a construction that enables the move of electrical present, which is critical for the fabric to be helpful for next-generation electronics.

Researchers design CubeSats with lasers to offer regular reference mild for telescopes investigating distant planets.

Scientists who final yr constructed a prototype harvester to extract water from the air utilizing solely the ability of the solar have scaled up the gadget to see how a lot water they'll seize in arid situations in Arizona. Utilizing a kilogram of MOF, they had been capable of seize ...

A hormone-free ladies's contraceptive with no negative effects is one promising use for a brand new approach developed by researchers kto tighten up the mucous membrane – the physique’s first line of protection in defending its interior lining.
