Graphene-based supercapacitor could lead to more efficient electrical energy storage
Researchers have identified electrical charge-induced changes in the structure and bonding of graphitic carbon electrodes that may one day affect the way energy is stored.
New imaging technique finds formation of aluminum alloys to blame for next-gen battery failures
Researchers have for the first time imaged the inner workings of experimental solid-state batteries as they charged and discharged while making detailed measurements of their electrochemical health. Their work has helped explain why the batteries rapidly lose performance and suggests a way for improving them.
Nanotechnology enhanced orthopedic implants fight infection
Biomedical engineers are fighting back by developing nanotechnology built directly into orthopedic implants using a battery-activated device to power an army of microscopic germ-killers. Even antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as MRSA are on the hit list.
Double vision: New technique can see nanoscale 'tree' and microscale 'forest' simultaneously
A close-up view of an individual tree won't tell you much about what?s going on in the forest, or even what's going on in the tree's upper branches. The same goes for studying nanoparticles.
New reference material provides a silver lining for nanotechnology EHS research
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued a new silver nanoparticle reference material to support researchers studying potential environmental, health and safety risks associated with the nanoparticles, which are being incorporated in a growing number of consumer and industrial products for their antimicrobial properties.
Experiment and theory unite at last in debate over microbial nanowires
New model and experiments settle debate over metallic-like conductivity of microbial nanowires in bacterium.
