Newswise — A recent study published in Engineering presents a significant advancement in improving the toughness of polypropylene (PP), a widely used thermoplastic material. The research, led by Zhiyi Zhang and Qiang Zheng from Taiyuan University of Technology and Zhejiang University, focuses on developing a novel core–shell structured composite to enhance PP’s performance at low temperatures. PP…
Newswise — South Korean researchers have developed a technology that improves the lifespan of next-generation anode-free all-solid-state batteries (AFASSBs) by sevenfold using a cost-effective two-dimensional material. A collaborative team led by Dr. Ki-Seok An and Dr. Dong-Bum Seo of the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT), along with Prof. Sangbaek Park’s group at Chungnam…
The Science Newswise — Olivines are common minerals that have magnetic and electrical properties useful for many applications. For example, olivines can be durable cathodes that improve the safety of lithium-ion batteries. However, these materials are magnetic only at very low temperatures (below -200° Fahrenheit). This makes it hard to use them in common applications. Scientists…
The Science Newswise — Thermoelectric materials convert heat directly into electricity. They offer a promising way to produce energy from waste heat. But first, scientists need a better understanding of these materials’ properties and how to control them. The thermoelectric material germanium telluride (GeTe) has interesting properties that can be modified. GeTe has a crystal…
Newswise — Dr. Seunggun Yu and his team at KERI‘s Insulation Materials Research Center have developed a groundbreaking ‘Hybrid Supraparticle Synthesis Technology’ that can attach inorganic nanoparticles to the surface of polymer microparticles through simple mechanical collisions. The ‘Hybrid Supraparticle Synthesis Technology’ that combines functional inorganic nanoparticles with polymer microparticles is being widely applied across…
Newswise — Two leading experts in the field of metamaterials from Tsinghua University co-authored a review article on this emerging scientific field in Engineering recently. Unlike traditional review articles, the authors interpret metamaterials from an artistic perspective. By drawing parallels with art, they reflect on significant achievements made over the past two decades and offer insights into…
Newswise — In today’s energy-intensive environment, designing new devices for more efficient and renewable energy sources is at the forefront of scientific research. A particularly interesting approach utilizes Ruddlesden-Popper perovskites—a type of layered material made from alternating sheets of inorganic and organic components. These materials are potentially ideal for several applications, including light-emitting diodes (LEDs),…
Newswise — Technologies enabling safe visual recognition in low-visibility environments are gaining increasing attention across sectors such as autonomous driving, aviation, and smart transportation. Thick fog remains a major challenge on highways, mountainous roads, and airport runways, where vision-based recognition systems frequently fail. Traditional visible light cameras, LiDAR, and thermal infrared (IR) sensors experience a…
Newswise — A pioneering partnership between researchers from The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has produced a novel nanopore sensing platform for single-biomolecule detection. Their findings, published in PNAS, pave the way for solid-state, label-free DNA sequencing technologies with implications for precision medicine. Nanopore sensors are tiny devices used to detect…
