University of Cincinnati co-op student Addie Salvador is quietly reshaping the future of materials science, bringing autonomy to a transmission electron microscope in the cutting-edge laboratories of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colorado.
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy found two competing mechanisms that contribute to the deformation of nanosheet materials used in cutting-edge computer components.
As electronics shrink, researchers are turning to nanoscale materials like ultra-thin nanosheets for next-generation devices. Studying these tiny structures without damaging them is challenging, but scientists used a 12-nanometer-wide X-ray beam to examine them safely. This revealed two competing mechanisms behind how these nanosheets deform, offering insights crucial for advancing microelectronics. Consumers want electronics that […]
Nuclear fusion, the process powering the sun and stars, offers a promising path to carbon-free electricity without long-lasting nuclear waste, but it requires materials that can endure extreme heat, stress, and neutron damage. Researchers are exploring advanced metal alloys and ceramic composites as potential solutions to these challenges. At Stony Brook University, Assistant Professor David […]
The University of California Office of the President has awarded $6 million over three years to a UC Irvine-led initiative called Geophysicist.AI, which aims to apply artificial intelligence to major geophysical challenges within Earth’s crust. The project focuses on advancing sustainable geothermal energy, underground carbon dioxide sequestration, and the safe, long-term storage of spent nuclear […]
