Toshifumi Sugama Honored for Contributions to Geothermal Industry
Toshifumi Sugama–a chemist in the Interdisciplinary Science Department at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory who designs, develops, and evaluates materials for geothermal wells–received the Outstanding Research Award from Geothermal Rising, a non-profit organization advocating for the advancement of geothermal energy around the world.
Transparent wood-based coating doesn’t fog up
Coatings made from a wood by-product can keep our glasses and windshields clear
Superlubricity coating could reduce economic losses from friction, wear
Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have invented a coating that could dramatically reduce friction in common load-bearing systems with moving parts, from vehicle drive trains to wind and hydroelectric turbines.
Brookhaven Lab and Euclid Techlabs to Develop Coated Cathodes for Electron-Ion Collider
The protective coatings are intended to extend the lifetime of the materials for applications in nuclear physics facilities.
Degradable coatings for compostable paper food packaging block grease and oil
Many paper cartons and wraps for food have a noncompostable plastic coating. Plastic-free products are available but can transmit grease and oil, creating a mess. Now, scientists have created a degradable coating that can block this seepage. They will present their results at ACS Fall 2021.
New atomic layer deposition process invented by UAH researchers
A new way to deposit thin layers of atoms as a coating onto a substrate material at near room temperatures has been invented at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of the University of Alabama System. Thin film deposition is used in microelectronics manufacturing.
‘Cyborg’ technology could enable new diagnostics, merger of humans and AI
Connecting electronics directly to human tissues in the body is a challenge. Today, a team is reporting new coatings for components that could help them more easily fit into this milieu. The researchers will present their results at the American Chemical Society Fall 2020 Virtual Meeting & Expo.
