A New View On Finding Room Temp Superconductors
February 19, 2019 | Leave a Comment
Vienna University of Technology’s new experimental results may change the way we think about making high-temperature superconductors. The results suggest a new way to the ‘holy grail of solid state physics’ – the high-temperature superconductor which works at room temperature. Every standard cable, every wire, every electronic device has some electric resistance. There are, however, […]

Process Developing For Lubricants From Biomass
February 14, 2019 | 1 Comment
Researchers at the University of Delaware-led Catalysis Center for Energy Innovation (CCEI) and investigators from its partner institutions are working to develop a strategy for making lubricants from biomass. Lubricants are essential for a modern economy keeping the world moving while they take a noteworthy amount of crude oil supply for base stock. The new […]

Closer To a Total Polymer Battery
February 13, 2019 | Leave a Comment
Texas A&M University researchers are one step closer to realizing their goal of creating a battery made entirely of polymers, which has the potential to charge and discharge much faster than traditional batteries. Polymers, a shorter smaller molecule than plastic, may offer a much better future to rechargeable batteries. A major hurdle to creating a […]

Researching the Source of Static Electricity
February 12, 2019 | Leave a Comment
A new University at Buffalo (UB) study suggests the cause of static electricity’s hair-raising phenomenon is tiny structural changes that occur at the surface of materials when they come into contact with each other. The finding could someday help technology companies create more sustainable and longer-lasting power sources for small electronic devices. Static electricity is […]
