We’ve covered a lot of noisy headlines about solid-state batteries, which will supposedly be “the kiss of death for gas cars,” by delivering hundreds of miles of range and then recharging in minutes.

Controlling how materials transition between liquid and solid states is fundamental to materials science, but the atomic-scale mechanisms remain poorly understood, especially in confined spaces where ...

Some 4.6 billion years ago, when the solar system was born from a vast cloud that collapsed to form the sun and a surrounding disk of whirling gas, no planets yet orbited our star. Back then, besides ...

The dynamics of disordered nuclear spin ensembles are the subject of nuclear magnetic resonance studies. Because of the through-space long-range dipolar interaction, generically, many spins are ...

ABSTRACT: First-principles density functional theory calculations were employed to investigate the structural, electronic, and vibrational properties of the lead-free double perovskite Rb2YCuCl6 for ...

Just when you think you've got a handle on how the Universe works, physics goes and surprises you again. Researchers have discovered that simple liquids can have breaking points, beyond which they ...

The global ambition to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 is driving intense research into low-carbon energy vectors to mitigate the climate impact of the dominant use of fossil fuels. This challenge ...

Coming up – on-line short courses concentrating on the principles of bulk materials handling in 2 important areas: 1) Storage and Discharge and 2) Pneumatic Conveying. These two popular courses cover ...

Working in the command line offers many benefits, but the main one is the ability to automate tasks with scripts, thereby streamlining workflows. This tutorial explores how to apply simple scripts in ...
