Self-Healing Mechanisms of Nanotwinned Metals Under Irradiation
Nanotwinned metals have been an important research object in the last 15 years because of their broad engineering application prospects.
Protonic Ceramics for Fuel Cells at Intermediate Temperatures
Protonic ceramic fuel cells operate in an intermediate temperature range (300–600 °C), avoiding the problems faced by other fuel cell types. Enhanced peak power densities have now been generated using a microstructured anode and a very thin electrolyte.
Single Step 3D Printing of Piezoelectric Sensors
Researchers 3D printed piezoelectric sensors in a single step at room temperature by extruding a piezoelectric nanocomposite sandwiched between two layers of silver paste acting as electrodes.
