Researchers harvest 2-D materials, bringing them closer to commercialization
Since the 2003 discovery of the single-atom-thick carbon material known as graphene, there has been significant interest in other types of 2-D materials as...
Catalysts more efficient and environmentally friendly
By studying materials down to the atomic level, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have found a way to make catalysts more efficient and...
Thin films for more efficient solar cells
The efficiency of solar cells can be increased by thin-film contacts developed by researchers at KAUST.
Improving the performance of solar cells requires scrutinizing every...
Lockheed Martin Develops 3D Printing
Today, 3-D printing generates parts used in ships, planes, vehicles, and spacecraft, but it also requires a lot of babysitting. High-value and intricate parts...
ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene implant
For the first time ever, a research team from the small innovative enterprise Biomimetix, implementing several NUST MISIS developments, has successfully implanted a biomimetic...
New method measures 3-D polymer processing precisely
Recipes for three-dimensional (3D) printing, or additive manufacturing, of parts have required as much guesswork as science. Until now.
Resins and other materials that react...
3D Printing Glass-Ceramics at the Nanoscale
Fabrication of a true-3D inorganic ceramic with resolution down to nanoscale using sol-gel resist precursor is demonstrated. The method has an unrestricted free-form capability,...
New polymer films conduct heat instead of trapping it
Polymers are usually the go-to material for thermal insulation. Think of a silicone oven mitt, or a Styrofoam coffee cup, both manufactured from polymer...
Interstate Plastics Highlights Applications for StarBoard® ST Ultra-Stiff Outdoor Building Sheet
Interstate Plastics now offers HDPE is weldable, one of the most scratch-resistant building polymers available. It’s ideal construction material for cabinetry, case goods, and...
Eco-friendly way of obtaining highly active catalysts
A team from Sechenov University and Russian colleagues developed a method for obtaining substances that accelerate the binding of hydrogen molecules with hydrocarbons via...
