Technology
Carbon Nanotubes for Better Li-Ion Cells
A coating of single-walled carbon nanotubes improves the performance of li-ion cell cathodes: They show longer lifetimes and stable capacities even at very high rates.
Two-Way Traffic: Counterpropagating Optical Beams
One of the simplest processes in nonlinear optics leading to a variety of complex physics phenomena is the mutual interaction of two counterpropagating optical beams in a medium
Graphene Tracks for Aluminum Trains: Nanomaterials Engineering
Aluminum clusters move along graphene tracks, controlled by applied electric currents, in work by Spanish and Dutch researchers.
Powering the Planet with Energy Nanomaterials?
How can nanomaterials make a difference in the grand challenge: efficient and green global scale production, storage and use of energy? Professor Geoffrey Ozin from the University of Toronto gives his response to this question.
Graphene’s brothers and sisters
A set of twelve graphene-like materials is simulated regarding their stability, structural, and electronic properties.
Gold Nanoparticle Network Growth
Assembly of metallic nanoparticles into chains or plasmonic networks is affected by temperature and kinetics.
Cover Story: More than Just Pretty! Well-Defined Catalysts for Fuel Cells
Systematic insights into well-defined platinum-alloy nanoparticles promise cheaper and more-efficient fuel cells.
Steel ab initio: Developing Complex Steels
A new and important development in complex steels is reported in the current issue of Steel Research International, dedicated to “Steel ab initio”.
Nanochemistry – When It Rains It Pores
Professor Geoffrey Ozin from the University of Toronto reviews porous materials—how the research goals have varied over the years, where we are today, and what these materials may offer in the future.
