Nov 04, 2023 (Nanowerk Spotlight) With the global population expanding and freshwater supplies under strain, converting abundant seawater into potable water has become a pressing need worldwide. Desalination provides a potential solution, but conventional methods like distillation and reverse osmosis are energy-intensive and environmentally taxing. Scientists have thus been seeking...

Home > Press > Nanoparticle quasicrystal constructed with DNA: The breakthrough opens the way for designing and building more complex structures A mathematical tool called a fast Fourier transform maps the structure in a way that reveals the 12-fold symmetry of the quasicrystal. The fast Fourier transform of the electron...

Nov 04, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Two-dimensional (2D) materials – materials just a few atoms thick – can have special properties due to quantum mechanics. What makes these materials special is often their defects. But there are a huge number of potential defects, and they aren’t all useful. That makes it...

Home > Press > New designs for solid-state electrolytes may soon revolutionize the battery industry: Scientists achieve monumental improvements in lithium-metal-chloride solid-state electrolytes The arrangement of metal ions (yttrium in this case) within each layer affects the ionic conductivity. To ensure the unobstructed movement of lithium ions, the number of...
