The Materials Today ‘Rising Star Awards’ recognize researchers in materials science and engineering who have demonstrated themselves to be exceptionally capable researchers with the potential to become future leaders in the field. Open to candidates within 15 years of completing their PhD who have demonstrated themselves to be leading the way through the impact of the research the candidate has conducted and the […]
This image shows scanning electron micrographs and cartoon representations of parapets (cylinders on top and lamellae on bottom), a Swiss-cheese-like patchwork of porous lamellae, and aqueducts (lamellae on top of cylinders). Image: Brookhaven National Laboratory. Scientists at the US Department of Energy (DOE)’s Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a new way to guide the self-assembly […]
Schematic of LIPS devices: fabrication of LIPS on commercial paper; LIPS fabricated on the inner surface of a milk carton as a food monitoring chemical sensor; and LIPS fabricated on outer surface of a paper cup as a temperature sensor. Photos of proof-of-concept LIPS device to detect spoilage of packaged pork. Smart paper packaging with […]
Manufacturing and supply chain expert Lisa Anderson, MBA, CSCP, CLTD, known as the Strongest Link in Your Supply Chain and president of LMA Consulting Group Inc., sees inventory tightening as supply chains grapple with demand fluctuation, supplier challenges, stagflation, and volatility in the economy. LMA Consulting Group works with manufacturers and distributors on strategy and end-to-end supply chain transformation […]
Schematic of the oil-in-water technology to make uniform, small-volume, two-compartment tumor organoids. Cell culture systems known as tumor organoids mimic the physiological microenvironment to enable researchers to maintain and study cancer cells from patients in vitro. Tumor organoids offer cell conditions closer to the physiological environment than traditional 2D or monolayer culture systems but are […]
Ahhh, Thanksgiving, a day meant for gathering with loved ones to remember all that is good in our lives. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving is not without its hazards, but fear not, Computational Fluid Design (CFD) is here to help. CFD can help you cook a turkey, even supersonically, so it reaches a safe 160°F. Traveling to get […]
Researchers have designed a nickel oxide-based system that demonstrates learning behaviors and is easily implementable in RRAM arrays. Image: Purdue University/Sandip Mondal. Researchers trying to create a new generation of supercomputers are looking for inspiration from the most complex and energy-efficient computer ever built – the human brain. In some of their initial forays into […]
The upper panel shows a sketch of the experiment. In a magnetic field, a heat current (red arrow) applied to the crystal produces a thermal Hall signal that arises from bosonic excitations (orange balls) moving along the edges. The lower panel is a color map of the thermal Hall signal (scale bar on the right) […]
Ronkonkoma, New York-based BJG Electronics Group (BJG) has a long-term agreement with Korean Aerospace Industries Ltd. (KAI) to support the Korean Utility Helicopter – KUH-1 Surion and the Light Armed Helicopter (LAH) program with interconnect and electromechanical components. The KUH-1 Surion is Korea’s first indigenous helicopter and is being deployed for operations in Korea with […]
Schematic of the manufacturing process and images of the fabricated lattices and shoe sole, as well as the cyclic compression test conducted on the shoe sole (photo of the test setup and voltage output). A new flexible three-dimensional piezoelectric composite transforms an ordinary shoe into an energy harvesting device, according to researchers. Piezoelectric materials convert […]
