Researchers have long sought electrically conductive materials for economical energy-storage devices. Two-dimensional (2D) ceramics called MXenes are contenders.
Polymer nanocomposites mix particles billionths of a meter (nanometers, nm) in diameter with polymers, which are long molecular chains.
It’s not enough to design new drugs. For drugs to be effective, they have to be delivered safely and intact to affected areas of the body. And drug delivery, much like drug design, is an immensely complex task.
In a new twist to waste-to-fuel technology, scientists at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř have developed an electrochemical process that uses tiny spikes of carbon and copper to turn carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into ethanol.
Researchers at Penn State, the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř and Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company have developed methods to control defects in two-dimensional materials, such as graphene, that may lead to improved membranes for
Samsung Electronics has exclusively licensed optically clear superhydrophobic film technology from the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř to improve the performance of glass displays on smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices.
Scientists at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř are the first to harness a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) to directly write tiny patterns in metallic “ink,” forming features in liquid that are finer than half the wi
Designing a 3-D printed structure is hard enough when the product is inches or feet in size.
Scientists can now detect magnetic behavior at the atomic level with a new electron microscopy technique developed by a team from the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř and Uppsala University, Sweden.
RMX Technologies of Knoxville, Tenn., and the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř have signed an exclusive licensing agreement for a new technology that dramatically reduces the time and energy needed in the production of carbon fiber.
