“Scientists develop a framework based on quantum calculations to solve a long-standing problem in materials science. Real-life optimization problems are often solved using techniques that borrow concepts from quantum mechanics. In a new study, scientists from Japan apply and compare …
“Scientists develop a novel binder material that protects the graphite anode of Li-ion batteries from degradation even after 1700 cycles The capacity of lithium-ion batteries decreases over time partly due to the degradation of the binder that protects the graphite …
“Scientists investigate how a self-repairing polymer can vastly improve the durability of a promising anode material for high-capacity batteries Although silicon anodes could greatly boost the capacity of Li-ion batteries, their performance rapidly degrades with use. Polymeric coatings can help …
“Scientists experimentally realize 2D Si-Ge alloys with tunable electronic properties, getting us closer to a breakthrough in modern electronics Semiconducting 2D alloys could be key to overcoming the technical limitations of modern electronics. Although 2D Si-Ge alloys would have interesting …
News A new graphene-based nanoscale sensor enables detection of a single carbon dioxide molecule - Breakthrough for future environmental sensing technology
“A research group at School of Materials Science / Energy and Environment division at Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST, President Testuo Asano), succeeded to detect a single CO2 molecule electronically by using a newly developed nano-scale sensor device …
“The use of biomass-derived plastics is one of the prime concerns to establish a sustainable society, which is incorporated as one of the Sustainable Development Goals. However, the use of most of the biomass-derived plastics is limited due to their …
