The Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and several collaborating institutions have successfully demonstrated a machine-learning technique to accelerate discovery of materials for film capacitors and used it to screen a library of nearly 50,000 chemical structures to identify and synthesize a compound with record-breaking performance.
Penn State researchers have discovered that “atomic spray painting” of potassium niobate can precisely manipulate a material’s properties by altering its atomic arrangement, potentially leading to environmentally friendly innovations in consumer electronics, medical devices, and quantum computing.
Ironwood Electronics, Eagan, Minn., is now producing elastomer sockets which include a protective “P” layer that allows for more insertions by protecting the elastomer from erosion and debris build up, extending the life of the elastomers to 200,000 plus insertions.
Researchers have discovered a method to make quantum computing more compact, potentially shrinking essential components by 1,000 times and requiring less equipment. Current quantum computers rely on entangled photons produced by shining a laser on millimeter-thick crystals, but this setup is too large for integration into a computer chip. Scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore […]
A team of scientists led by Associate Professor Nripan Mathews from NTU’s School of Materials Science and Engineering has successfully synthesized four groundbreaking types of perovskites, with Dr. Ayan Zhumekenov pioneering a unique method by incorporating dimethyl carbonate—a non-toxic solvent—into methylammonium-based perovskite crystals. By examining the new crystal structures, the researchers found they could modify […]
