Nanoparticles in lithium-sulphur batteries detected with neutron experiment

Researchers have for the first time precisely analysed how nanoparticles of lithium sulphide and sulphur precipitate onto battery electrodes during the course of the charging cycle. The results can help increase the service life of lithium-sulphur batteries.

Measuring changes in magnetic order to find ways to transcend conventional electronics

Researchers have developed an approach for precisely measuring changes in the magnetic order of antiferromagnetic materials in real time. Further understanding of these materials could enable electronic devices with speeds orders of magnitude higher.

Selenium anchors could improve durability of platinum fuel cell catalysts

A new platinum-based catalytic system that is far more durable than traditional commercial systems and has a potentially longer lifespan. The new system could, over the long term, reduce the cost of producing fuel cells.

Creating new opportunities from nanomaterials

Scientists are pioneering new techniques to study materials growth and how structure relates to performance.

Scientists explore using nanoparticles to reduce size of deep-seated tumors

Researchers investigated the use of X-rays and copper-cysteamine (Cu-Cy) nanoparticles to treat deep-seated tumors, resulting in statistically significant reduction in tumor size.
