One More Step Closer to Organic Thermoelectric Material
December 9, 2020 | Leave a Comment
An international team led by University of Groningen has now produced an n-type organic semiconductor with superior properties that brings organic thermoelectric material a big step closer. Thermoelectric materials can turn a temperature difference into electricity. Organic thermoelectric materials could be used to power wearable electronics or sensors; however, the power output is still very […]

New Research Method Called “Genomic” Improves Batteries
December 8, 2020 | Leave a Comment
DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory scientists have developed a new way to decipher the atomic-level structure of materials based on data gleaned from ground-up powder samples. They describe their approach and demonstrate its ability to solve the structure of a material that shows promise for shuttling ions through sodium-ion batteries. The scientists at the U.S. Department […]

Safer Cheaper Nuclear Fuel Production Worked Out
December 2, 2020 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… A Los Alamos National Laboratory’s key energy security mission is developing safe and sustainable fuels for nuclear energy. For now uranium dioxide, a radioactive actinide oxide, is the most widely used nuclear fuel in today’s nuclear power plants. But a new “combustion synthesis” process recently established for lanthanide metals – non-radioactive elements that are […]
