Researchers from Osaka University and Osaka City University synthesize and crystallize a molecule that is usually too unstable to thoroughly study in the laboratory. The molecule is also a model of a revolutionary class of magnets. Since the very first documented production in 2004, researchers have been hard at work utilizing graphene and identical...
Photo-driven catalytic process based on the Al–N–C catalyst. Credit: NIMTEThe team of Professor Chen Liang and Professor Lu Zhiyi's team at the Ningbo Innovation and Product Engineering Institute (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) suggested a highly activated carbon-based catalyst that can make direct use of the renewable resources (e.g., solar energy)...
The 3D printer used in the study. Credit: Oleg Dubinin et alResearchers from Skoltech and their coworkers have used a 3D printer to fuse two products in an alloy whose make-up continuously alters from one region of the sample to other, endowing the alloy with magnetic gradient properties. Regardless of the nonmagnetic nature of...
A multimodal Investigation of adductively manufactured 316L stainless steel revealing a heterogeneous - and correlative. Credit: Dr. W. Streit Cunningham and Prof. Jason Trelewicz, Stony Brook UniversityLaser additive manufacturing, a form of 3D printing that accumulates parts layer-by-layer by melting and resolidifying steel powders– has ushered in a renaissance for researchers discovering exactly how...
Lightweight aerogel suspended in a honeycomb structure. Credit: University of BathAn exceptionally light new material that can decrease aircraft engine noise and enhance passenger comfort has been established at the University of Bath.The graphene oxide-polyvinyl alcohol aerogel weighs simply 2.1 kg per cubic meter, making it the lightest sound insulation ever before produced. It...
