Mar 19, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new quasi-solid-state cathode for solid-state lithium metal batteries, with significantly reduced interfacial resistance between the cathode and a solid electrolyte (iScience, "Ionic liquid-containing cathodes empowering ceramic solid electrolytes"). By adding an ionic liquid, their modified cathode could...

CREDIT Bertoldi Lab/Harvard SEAS Abstract:When it comes to porous metamaterials —ubiquitous,...

Mar 18, 2022 (Nanowerk News) A team of Melbourne researchers and international partners from the Italian Instituto Nazionale de Fisica Nucleare (INFN) and CERN, who are developing radiation-hardened semiconductor chips, used the unique state-of-art high energy ion microprobe on the SIRIUS ion accelerator at ANSTO’s Centre for Accelerator Science to...

Mar 18, 2022 (Nanowerk News) A key step in the formation of new planets may have been uncovered by a new theoretical model of a protoplanetary disk developed by a RIKEN astrophysicist and two collaborators that explains how dust in the disk overcomes a tendency to drift toward the star...

Mar 18, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Microalgae have been used by the Chinese for medicinal and nutritional purposes for thousands of years in the belief they could cure almost any health condition. The idea that microalgae have extraordinary healing powers isn’t as far-fetched as some might think. Though the ancient Chinese...

Mar 18, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Laboratory studies of lung tissue usually require the removal of large amounts of human or animal tissue. Now scientists from the University of Freiburg’s Faculty of Medicine have succeeded in collaboration with American researchers in generating tiny quantities of lung tissue, so-called organoids, from just...

Mar 18, 2022 (Nanowerk News) For decades researchers and technologists have regarded batteries and capacitors as two distinct energy storage devices — batteries, known for storing more energy but releasing it slowly; capacitors, for quickly discharging it in smaller spurts. Each new energy storage device has therefore been categorized as...
