If Zr-Cl rotation is artificially frozen in NYZC, sodium diffusivity plummets to negligible results, demonstrating that this rotation aids sodium conductivity. Image: University of California, San Diego. A team of researchers has designed and manufactured a new sodium-ion conductor for solid-state sodium-ion batteries that is stable when incorporated into higher-voltage oxide cathodes. This new solid […]
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine announced today the appointment of photographer Christopher Michel as artist-in-residence.
Dutch couturier Iris van Herpen partnered with Parley for the Oceans to design a stunning dress made from upcycled marine debris.
Nanoencapsulation of natural or synthetic antimicrobial agents into food packaging can help ensure the product is safe for consumption. The technology also helps extend shelf life and reduce food waste cost effectively and safely for humans and the environment.
Plans are to commercialize composites in e-mobility applications. AMAC and?Netherlands-based engineering company Pontis?Engineering have joined forces to commercialize composites in e-mobility applications. This includes the development of lightweight structural battery housings and electric vehicles for road, industry, water and air transportation, the companies say.
