Quantum mechanical calculations uncover lithium-stable materials out of a variety of chemistry across the periodic table.
Technology
Phase Control of 2D Materials with Reverse Micelles
Supercritical carbon dioxide induced reverse micelles were used to create metallic 1T-phase molybdenum disulfide and tungsten disulfide nanosheets for hydrogen generation.
Hermetic Connectors for the Toughest Conditions
Hermetic plugs are used in cases of large differences in pressure, at high altitude and at depth, or in difficult weather conditions.
Solvent is the Key to Making Perovskite Nanosheets
The synthesis of ultrathin 2D nanosheets (NSs) remains a significant challenge for perovskite materials. Now, researchers have demonstrated a facile crystallization method for the synthesis of free-standing 2D phenylethylammonium lead halide NSs.
How Can Protein Coronas Impact the Future of Nanomedicine?
The application and the clinical development of nanomedicines strongly requires a deep study on the complex dynamics that happen after in vivo administration. Particularly, plasma proteins tend to associate to nanoparticles, forming a new surface named the “protein corona” that can have a strong impact on biodistribution, targeting efficacy, and toxicity.
Versatile Styrene Conversion Catalyst Also Captures CO2
It reads like the plot of an action movie: against all odds, an unassuming catalyst avoids deactivation and captures its target with record effectiveness.
Point and Shoot: Nanofiber Manufacturing using Pull Spinning
The group of Kit Parker at Harvard University has developed a new system that uses point-and-shoot manufacturing to rapidly produce aligned nanofibers.
UK’s Biggest and Fastest Robotic Welding Line
Tata Steel has launched a new high-tech robotic welding line at its Automotive Service Centre in Wednesfield, UK.
Cell-Material Interactions at High Throughput
TopoWellPlate, a 96-well plate based material topography library, enables mechanistic studies on cell-material interactions using standard molecular methods.
The Most Efficient Commercial Jet in the World
The Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer rolls out the E195-E2, an especially fuel-efficient plane.
