Cost-effective, high-capacity, and cyclable lithium-ion battery cathodes
Charge-recharge cycling of lithium-superrich iron oxide, a cost-effective and high-capacity cathode for new-generation lithium-ion batteries, can be greatly improved by doping with readily available mineral elements.
This Alloy is Kinky
A team led by Berkeley Lab has revealed a new metal alloy that resists damage at both hot and cold temperature extremes due to an atomic-level effect called kink bands, making it potentially suitable for demanding applications like more powerful aerospace engines.
Technique could improve the sensitivity of quantum sensing devices
In quantum sensing, atomic-scale quantum systems are used to measure electromagnetic fields, as well as properties like rotation, acceleration, and distance, far more precisely than classical sensors can.
Truly chiral phonons observed in three-dimensional materials for the first time
Chirality is the breaking of reflection and inversion symmetries.
Seeing Double for Better Solar Cells
Halide perovskite can make solar cells a thousand times thinner than today’s silicon solar cells. A new approach allows scientists to watch changes in the material’s structure and functional properties while the material solidifies into a thin film from solution. This gives new insight into how the material’s structure and functionality are related, aiding in future solar cell design.
Moffitt Researchers Determine 1st Crystal Structure of LAG3
A team of Moffitt Cancer Center researchers has become the first in the world to visualize the molecular structure of the LAG3 protein. In a new article published in Nature Immunology, they describe the crystal structure of LAG3 and how it interacts with molecules produced by cancer cells.
Research Paves the Way for Stronger Alloys
Scientists from the University of Birmingham have described how microscopic crystals grow and change shape in molten metals as they cool, in research that is breaking new ground in alloy research and paves the way for improving the tensile strength of alloys used in casting and welding.
