Erupting electrodes: how recharging leaves behind microscopic debris inside batteries (w/video)
Identifying where buildup comes from will lead to improved rechargeable batteries.
Multimetal nanoframes improve catalyst performance
Concentrating noble-metal catalyst atoms on the surface of porous nano-frame alloys shows over thirty-fold increase in performance.
New understanding of electromagnetism could enable 'antennas on a chip'
New understanding of the nature of electromagnetism could lead to antennas small enough to fit on computer chips - the 'last frontier' of semiconductor design - and could help identify the points where theories of classical electromagnetism and quantum mechanics overlap.
