New material could replace lead in many energy storage devices
A team of Penn State researchers have observed and reported for the first time the unique microstructure of a novel ferroelectric material, enabling the development of lead-free piezoelectric materials for electronics, sensors, and energy storage that are safer for human use.
Researchers turn waste byproduct asphaltene into graphene
Researchers from Rice University, University of Calgary, South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, and University of Washington have managed to turn a waste material called asphaltene (a byproduct of crude oil production) into graphene.
