A team of scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory has developed a new method to process nanocellulose, a plant-based material, reducing energy needs by 21%. This method, discovered through molecular simulations and pilot testing, uses a solvent of sodium hydroxide and urea in water, significantly lowering production costs of nanocellulosic fiber, […]
A research team led by Tae-Woo Lee from Seoul National University’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering, in collaboration with Andrew M. Rappe from the University of Pennsylvania and Omer Yaffe from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, has developed an ultra-high efficiency perovskite nanocrystal LED by strengthening the perovskite lattice and suppressing the […]

Controlling out-of-roundness is important for certain precision applications, such as class C and D cutting hobs made of high-speed steels. Class C and D hobs must be held close to size limits because they are not ground to size after heat treatment, but rather are used in the unground condition. Normal size distortion in hardening […]
