Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have addressed a significant challenge in nanosheet technology. Their innovative approach employs surfactants to produce amorphous nanosheets from various ...

Researchers at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, led by Prof. Dr. Nicola Pinna, have made an advancement in nanotechnology, successfully extending the well-known Stöber method to synthesize amorphous ...

The low activity of the oxygen reduction reaction in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells is a major barrier for electrocatalysis, and hence needs to be optimized. Tuning the surface electronic ...

Back in 2010, Apple signed an agreement with Caltech spinoff Liquidmetal Technologies, giving Apple exclusive access to the firm's unique metal alloys for consumer electronics applications.

Engel and Heraeus have reduced cycle times by up to 70 percent compared with previous production solutions for the injection molding of amorphous metals. In doing so, the two system partners have ...

A very special injection molding machine that can form liquid metal into plastic-like parts is getting close to prime time. The technology has significant implications for the medical and other ...

The more amorphous a metal becomes, the better its electrochemical properties in a battery. However, the battery industry’s poster child, lithium, appears mainly in crystalline form – leading to a ...

Sanjaya Viraj Bandara of the University of Peradeniya captured this image at 300x magnification while attempting to synthesize a porous, crystalline material known as Zn-MOF-74. Bandara says that ...

The 19th century was the age of steel; the 20th was the age of synthetic polymers and plastics, but the 21st century will be the age of glassy metals. High-grade steel making and the invention of ...
