Surprise in the quantum world
Disorder leads to ferromagnetic topological insulator
23-Mar-2023
Magnetic topological insulators are an exotic class of materials that conduct electrons without any resistance at all and so are regarded as a promising breakthrough in materials science. Researchers from the Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat in Würzburg and Dresden have achieved a significant ...
Single-atom vibrational spectroscopy now sensitive at level of chemical bonds
23-Mar-2023
Researchers led by Prof. ZHOU Wu from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS) and Prof. Sokrates T. Pantelides of Vanderbilt University have pushed the sensitivity of single-atom vibrational spectroscopy to the chemical-bonding-configuration extreme, which is critical for ...
Green hydrogen: How photoelectrochemical water splitting may become competitive
22-Mar-2023
Sunlight can be used to produce green hydrogen directly from water in photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells. So far, systems based on this "direct approach" have not been energetically competitive. However, the balance changes as soon as some of the hydrogen in such PEC cells is used in-situ for a ...
How do we want to heat our homes in the future?
Researchers work on sustainable solutions for heating oil boilers
22-Mar-2023
The question of heating is becoming increasingly important in times of scarce resources and of global warming. Are oil heating systems still future-proof? Moreover, if so, can they be operated with efficient, sustainable fuels? Researchers are striving to make heating with oil more sustainable as ...
In search of the 'holy grail': researchers observe lithium ions in real time
Tracking lithiation with transmission electron microscopy: A decisive step in research on battery materials
22-Mar-2023
Li ion imaging by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is the “holy grail” in the study of Li ion battery (LIB) materials. Tracking lithiation process in TEM could provide more profound understanding on the electrode degradation mechanism during battery cycling, which accelerates material ...
Shape memory for nano-sized objects
Shape memory objects as thin as twenty nanometers produced for the first time: Broad range of applications
21-Mar-2023
Researchers at ETH Zurich achieved a shape memory effect for the first time with objects that are only a few nanometers in size. This can be used to manufacture tiny machinery and robotic devices on the nanoscale. Alloys that can return to their original structure after being deformed have a ...
A breakthrough in big data processing helps trace chemicals in complex mixtures
Scientists open a new window into the chemical world
21-Mar-2023
An international team of scientists led by Tomáš Pluskal from the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences (IOCB Prague) has introduced a new generation of software enabling scientists to analyze large volumes of data from mass spectrometry, a technique ...
Stalactites and stalagmites in the battery?
New research could lead to longer-lasting batteries
20-Mar-2023
They are considered the "Holy Grail" of battery research: so-called "solid-state batteries". They no longer have a liquid core, as is the case with today's batteries, but consist of a solid material. This leads to several advantages: Among other things, these batteries are more difficult to ...
Self-driven laboratory speeds chemical discovery
A complete wet chemistry laboratory in suitcase format: Artificial intelligence finds new materials in record time
20-Mar-2023
A team of chemical engineering researchers has developed a self-driven lab that is capable of identifying and optimizing new complex multistep reaction routes for the synthesis of advanced functional materials and molecules. In a proof-of-concept demonstration, the system found a more efficient ...
New Method to synthesize Menthol
A special catalyst enables a “dream reaction”
20-Mar-2023
Menthol and cannabinoids are important for the chemical industry. A team led by Prof. Benjamin List has now found a new way to synthesize both substances - cheaper and more efficient than before. Our toothpaste contains it, you can find it in cold remedies, and it makes our chewing gum tasty: ...
