Sophia University, Japan, researchers have developed a new control scheme for the magnetic shape memory alloy-based actuator (MSMA-BA) that improves its positioning accuracy. While MSMA-BA is a crucial component for high-precision positioning systems due to its high precision, low energy consumption, and large stroke, its hysteresis is an intrinsic property that can negatively affect its […]
Scientists use computational modeling to design “ultrastable” materials
These highly stable metal-organic frameworks could be useful for applications such as capturing greenhouse gases.
Using ice to make ultra-clean 2D materials
Using the adhesive properties of ice, researchers have developed a transfer method to move large sheets of 2D materials without breaking them.
MXene Spray Coating Can Harness Infrared Radiation for Heating or Cooling
An international team of researchers, led by Drexel University, has found that a thin coating of MXene could enhance a material’s ability to trap or shed heat.
