First nanoscale look at how lithium ions navigate a molecular maze to reach battery electrode
Lithium ions have to travel through layers of molecules in the electrolyte liquid before they can enter or leave a lithium-ion battery electrode. Tweaking this process could help batteries charge faster.
Carbon nanotube yarn taps nerves for electroceutical treatments and diagnostics
Yarn weaved from carbon nanotubes monitors brain control of organ functions in rats, paves way for disease diagnosis and treatment at single nerve level.
Researchers find metal in 'metal-free' graphene catalysts
Study of graphene catalysts finds trace of manganese, suggests better ultrathin fuel-cell components.
Bioinspired design for new electrode could boost supercapacitors' performance
Mechanical engineers have designed a super-efficient and long-lasting electrode for supercapacitors. The device's design was inspired by the structure and function of leaves on tree branches, and it is more than 10 times more efficient than other designs.
Majorana runners go long range: New topological phases of matter unveiled
Merging of Majorana particles in a topological superconductor opens new avenues for quantum technologies.
New technique allows printing of flexible, stretchable silver nanowire circuits
Researchers have developed a new technique that allows them to print circuits on flexible, stretchable substrates using silver nanowires. The advance makes it possible to integrate the material into a wide array of electronic devices.
