Quantum sensing unlocks nanoscale insights into battery electrode behavior

Sep 24, 2024 (Nanowerk News) Battery performance is heavily influenced by the non-uniformity and failure of individual electrode particles. Understanding the reaction mechanisms and failure modes at nanoscale level is key to advancing battery technologies and extending their lifespan. However, capturing real-time electrochemical evolution at this scale remains challenging due...

Researchers reveal the reality of lossless energy transport in topological insulators

Sep 24, 2024 (Nanowerk News) Topological insulators raise the exciting the hope of realising lossless energy transport, which is true at ultralow temperatures. However, topological insulators fail to maintain this lossless ‘magic’ at room temperature. Researchers from Monash University, part of the FLEET Centre, have uncovered new insights into the...
