Catalysts are substances that speed up chemical reactions or allow them to occur at lower temperatures or pressures. 1 When catalysts are used to control and enhance reactions, the process is called ...

New perovskite-related material could find applications in sensors, wearables, and printed electronics ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Nature has perfected what human engineering still struggles to achieve: creating materials that can adapt, sense their environment, and transform harmful substances into useful ...

Researchers at Vienna University of Technology have developed an oxygen-ion battery based on ceramic materials that has a longer lifespan than lithium-ion batteries. The new battery can be regenerated ...

Researchers have taken a step forward in developing batteries that can store 10 times more energy than existing lithium-ion batteries. The scientists have been experimenting with a “garnet ceramic” ...

High emissivity coatings and ceramics have emerged as pivotal materials in the facilitation of efficient infrared radiation management. These materials are engineered to convert thermal energy into ...

Brake pads look like a simple wear item, but the material you choose quietly reshapes how your car stops, how often you visit the shop, and even how dirty your wheels get. The real tradeoff between ...

Materials and textile chemists enjoy modifying and improving basic polymers to solve problems. Chemists play a predominant role in materials science to design and synthesize materials with interesting ...
