A research team led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has developed “supramolecular ink”, a new technology for use in OLED (organic light-emitting diode) displays or other electronic devices. Made of inexpensive, earth-abundant elements. Supramolecular ink could enable more affordable and environmentally sustainable flat-panel screens and electronic devices. Principal investigator and a faculty senior […]
In a giant leap for future hypersonic flight, Chinese scientists have turned to multi-scale technology to develop a revolutionary new material that has achieved record high marks in tests for vital strength and thermal insulation properties. The scientists say their porous ceramic creation opens the door to wider exploration in the fields of aerospace, chemical […]
Strong, lightweight materials that can tolerate very high temperatures have the potential to improve existing technologies, pave the way for the creation of novel biomedical imaging or hydrogen storage applications, or even usher in the next generation of spacecraft. To do this, researchers at Rice University working with Angel Martí’s lab have discovered a novel […]
Confluent Medical Technologies (Confluent) announced that it has partnered with ATI to invest more than $50 million over the next several years in ATI’s Nitinol melt and materials conversion infrastructure. With this significant investment, which will more than triple ATI’s melt capacity for medical Nitinol, Confluent will become ATI’s fulfillment partner and provide a suite […]
A research team from the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed an organic–inorganic hybrid superamphiphobic coating with integrated functionalities of liquid repellency, self-cleaning, anti-corrosion, and anti-icing.
