Newswise — Mark Kevin Jones is a true Renaissance man in nuclear physics. Throughout his career, he has garnered many accomplishments, and he’s even worn quite a few hats in his three decades at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. Jones has been associated with Jefferson Lab since 1992, when he…
Newswise — Hydrogen evolution is a cornerstone of clean energy, playing a pivotal role in producing hydrogen fuel. However, traditional catalysts like platinum are prohibitively expensive, driving the need for alternatives. Transition metal phosphorus trichalcogenides, such as NiPS3, present a promising option due to their unique structure. Yet, their natural limitations—low catalytic activity and basal…
Newswise — Amid an escalating global energy crisis, the need for high-performance energy storage solutions is more pressing than ever. Supercapacitors, known for their fast charge/discharge rates and longer cycle life compared to traditional batteries, have emerged as a critical component in future energy systems. However, to meet growing demand, supercapacitors require high-quality electrode materials…
Newswise — Radiative heat transfer is one of the most critical energy transfer mechanisms in nature. However, traditional blackbody radiation, due to its inherent characteristics such as non-directional, incoherent, broad-spectrum, and unpolarized nature, results in energy exchange between the radiating body and all surrounding objects, significantly limiting heat transfer efficiency and thermal flow control. These…
