Park Systems, Korea, a world-leading supplier of atomic force microscopes announced the opening of its new Eastern Regional Lab at Northeastern University’s 14-acre Innovation Campus in Burlington, Mass.
Researchers in China from Tsinghua University and Jilin University developed a new 3D nanoprinting technique using semiconducting quantum dots.
A University of Michigan-led team of engineers and software developers developed a new beta version of tomviz, an open-source 3D data visualization tool software that connects directly to an electron microscope, enabling researchers to see and manipulate 3D visualizations of nanomaterials in real time, and is already used by tens of thousands of researchers.
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory, Lemont, Ill., made another lithium-ion battery breakthrough with the NMC cathode, finding a boundary-free electrode structure eliminates reactions that diminish battery life.
Video description This video from Steve Mould explains how the size of the grains affects the physical properties of the metal, like hardness, toughness, strength, mailability, ductility, and plasticity. Heating a metal can change the size of the grains. This ball-bearing model demonstrates annealing.
