Deep canyons in the Andes are the perfect location to catch the most energetic particles in the universe. Carlos Argüelles-Delgado reveals how these intergalactic envoys could help prove the quantum n ...

To unlock materials of the future, including better photocatalysts or light-switchable superconductors, researchers need to ...

Abstract: The High Voltage Padova Test Facility (HVPTF) is an experimental device for investigating high voltage (HV) Direct Current insulation in a vacuum, in support of the development of the ...

Brown University engineers showed that applying a temperature gradient across a solid-state electrolyte blocks destructive dendrite growth, offering a practical solution to a major barrier in battery ...

Cathodes play a dominant role in defining cell energy density, and also make up a significant proportion of cell costs, due to the use of high-cost metals such as cobalt, nickel and lithium. Standard ...

General Motors' battery research and development team is exploring solid-state and sodium-ion batteries. Its Wallace Battery Cell Innovation center in Michigan allows it to develop and test new ...

Editor’s Note: This is part of a series called Inside the Lab, which gives audiences a first-hand look at the research laboratories at the University of Chicago and the scholars who are tackling some ...

Russian researchers may have saved other battery scientists some time by ruling out at least one cause of lithium-rich cathode degradation. It seems that oxygen gas molecules that had been blamed for ...

We talk about quantum states — that is, something can be at one of several discrete values but not in between. For example, a binary digit can be a 1 or a 0, but not 0.3 or 0.5. Atoms have quantum ...

A top-view visualization of a platinum surface during cathode corrosion. Platinum and hydrogen atoms are represented in black and white, respectively. Blue and purple triangles indicate where hydrogen ...

In this study, steel rebar corrosion owing to chloride intrusion was evaluated in 5-year marine environment. Seawater is used as the mixing water for the concrete, and the specimens were completely ...

An improved electroosmotic method which involves coupling anode movement with injection of calcium chloride (CaCl 2) solution into soils during the electroosmotic process was proposed in this paper.
