Oct 29, 2022 (Nanowerk News) A team of researchers has discovered a new mechanism to stabilize the lithium metal electrode and electrolyte in lithium metal batteries. This new mechanism, which does not depend on the traditional kinetic approach, has potential to greatly enhance the energy density — the amount of...
Nanotechnology Now – Press Release: Kagome metallic crystal adds new spin to electronics
Home > Press > Kagome metallic crystal adds new spin to electronics Fig. 1. Illustration of surface electronic behaviour in a kagome metal. The gyroscope is only an analogy of spin, which is one of the intrinsic physical properties of fundamental particles. Note that electrons will not really rotate as...
How can indicators solve the challenges of the circular economy?
Oct 29, 2022 (Nanowerk News) The efficient use and exchange of information are considered fundamental aspects for the prosperity of ecosystems, being them natural or industrial. Consequently, data sharing becomes a requisite for successful circular economy models since, by definition, they require the collaborative interaction of various actors throughout the...
Study finds 53 percent jump in e-waste greenhouse gas emissions between 2014, 2020
Oct 29, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere from electronic devices and their associated electronic waste increased by 53 percent between 2014 and 2020, including 580 metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2020 alone, according to University of California, Irvine researchers. They estimate that without regulation or...

Fighting tumours with magnetic bacteria
Oct 27, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Scientists around the world are researching how anti-cancer drugs can most efficiently reach the tumours they target. One possibility is to use modified bacteria as “ferries” to carry the drugs through the bloodstream to the tumours. Researchers at ETH Zurich have now succeeded in controlling...
Physicists see light waves moving through a metal
Oct 27, 2022 (Nanowerk News) When we encounter metals in our day-to-day lives, we perceive them as shiny. That’s because common metallic materials are reflective at visible light wavelengths and will bounce back any light that strikes them. While metals are well suited to conducting electricity and heat, they aren’t...
