Getting a charge out of liquid metal batteries
Liquid metal batteries, in which both electrodes as well as the electrolyte are in liquid form, are a promising development in energy storage technologies.
Making water-splitting for hydrogen storage 50 times more efficient
Experiments find the sweet spot for surface area and bubble trapping to create more efficient water-splitting devices.
Thoughts on materials discovery at the human-machine interface
Imagine how these two planes – the world of machines and the world of human systems – will work synergistically to realize the potential of new materials and the systems into which they will be integrated.
Is your work not novel enough?
What constitutes novelty and importance and meeting the criteria of top-tier journals? Maybe we need to rethink how and where we showcase our breakthroughs…
Prof-Bot: The autonomous chemistry professor
Will artificial intelligence expand and enhance its teaching prowess to the point where it can replace the professor in his or her traditional role?
Absolute zero: A counter-intuitive energy transition
For the UK to make headway with its ambitious Absolute Zero plan, it calls for an administration that understands the subject and what is needed for its success.
Helping robots think like humans
UCF researchers develop a device that mimics brain cells used for human vision. The invention may help to one day make robots that can think like humans.
