New AI model transforms understanding of metal-organic frameworks
The “MOFtransformer” is designed to be the ChatGPT for researchers that study MOFs
15-Mar-2023
How does an iPhone predict the next word you’re going to type in your messages? The technology behind this, and also at the core of many AI applications, is called a transformer;a deep-learning algorithm that detects patterns in datasets. Now, researchers at EPFL and KAIST have created a ...
New method transforms algae shells into technologically relevant functional materials
Scientists Transform Algae into Unique Functional Perovskites with Tunable Properties
14-Mar-2023
Scientists have transformed single-cell algae into functional perovskite materials. The team led by scientists at the B CUBE – Center for Molecular Bioengineering at TU Dresden converted mineral shells of algae into lead halide perovskites with tunable physical properties. The new perovskites ...
Superstore MXene: New proton hydration structure determined
14-Mar-2023
MXenes are able to store large amounts of electrical energy like batteries and to charge and discharge rather quickly like a supercapacitor. They combine both talents and thus are a very interesting class of materials for energy storage. The material is structured like a kind of puff pastry, with ...
Researchers find access to new fluorescent materials
Significantly increased efficiency of fluorescence - Wide range of applications in everyday life
14-Mar-2023
Fluorescence is a fascinating natural phenomenon. It is based on the fact that certain materials can absorb light of a certain wavelength and then emit light of a different wavelength. Fluorescent materials play an important role in our everyday lives, for example in modern screens. Due to the ...
With new measurement methods for a longer service life of battery cells
More sustainability in electromobility and Co
14-Mar-2023
The aging of battery cells cannot be easily determined under real conditions. However, an accurate statement about the aging state of the cells in operation forms the basis for a better understanding of the aging mechanisms of a battery and for extending its lifetime. In order to be able to ...
How nanoplastics can influence metabolism
13-Mar-2023
PET, the plastic used to make bottles, for example, is ubiquitous in our natural environment. In a joint study, scientists from Leipzig University and the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) investigated the negative effects that tiny plastic PET particles can have on the metabolism ...
Scientists thread rows of metal atoms into nanofiber bundles
Intercalation of indium into nanostructures promises applications to nanocircuitry
13-Mar-2023
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have successfully threaded atoms of indium metal in between individual fibers in bundles of transition metal chalcogenide nanofibers. By steeping the bundles in indium gas, rows of atoms were able to make their way in between the fibers to create a ...
Novel porous materials are ideal for metal-air batteries
13-Mar-2023
Sustainable energy solutions cannot be pulled out of thin air. However, combining air with metal and other frameworks may pave the way for environmentally friendly energy conversion and storage, according to a research team based in China. They published their review of novel porous materials — ...
Plastic containers can contain PFAS — and it’s getting into food
10-Mar-2023
Researchers at the University of Notre Dame are adding to their list of consumer products that contain PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), a toxic class of fluorine compounds known as “forever chemicals.” In a new study published in Environmental Science and Technology Letters, ...
Electric vehicle batteries could get big boost with new polymer coating
Scientists enhance lithium-ion battery performance at the atomic level
10-Mar-2023
Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a conductive polymer coating – called HOS-PFM – that could enable longer lasting, more powerful lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles. “The advance opens up a new approach to developing EV batteries that are ...
