Novel electrolytic process with plasma could open new doors in renewable energy
Ohio-based researchers reported the successful revival of an old way of producing the very useful compound ammonia. They used a plasma-based electrolytic reaction to create ammonia from nitrogen and water. Furthermore, they did not need to use any hydrogen or solid metal catalysts. Ammonia was first synthesized in the early 20th century. Nowadays, it is used to make fertilizer and numerous other products that […]

Silicon nanoparticles could extend the life of lithium-ion batteries by 10 times
When it comes to developing new battery technology, researchers either pour their efforts into a new replacement for lithium-ion batteries or find another way to milk more performance out of existing lithium-based systems. Canadian researchers took the latter approach by using nanoscale silicon particles to increase the charge capacity of a Li-ion cell. Their scientific paper detailed how they tested four different […]

NOT the movies: In the future, humankind will hurl spacecraft into asteroids in “self-defense”
NASA is preparing for its very first planetary defense mission in a couple of years’ time. Its Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft will deliberately crash itself into a near-Earth asteroid. The purpose of the kamikaze is to determine whether or not spacecraft can change the direction of a much larger space rock. Planetary defense is the ability of […]

Scientists propose new engineering method that can improve how we build buildings and bridges
We know that pearlite is incredibly tough and stretchable, making it the go-to material for bridges and other structures that need to withstand massive amounts of stress. But Japanese researchers finally figured out the specific means through which this steel alloy achieved its amazing mechanical properties. Also called “pearlitic steel,” this type of steel is considered to be […]

The light stuff: Researchers can print 3D objects faster using light
3D printing is very versatile, but a printer takes time to raise all those layers of plastic filaments. A recently developed light-based additive technique promises to work 100 times faster when it comes to turning plastic additives into complex shapes and parts. Developed by the University of Michigan, the new technique will make it easier and […]

Researchers develop high-energy magnesium batteries that can store more energy
A recent breakthrough in magnesium-based energy storage technology promised to make the tried-and-tested design much more competitive with lithium-ion systems. The updated battery achieved its vast increase in storage capacity and energy discharge by using an organic electrode alongside chloride-free electrolytes. High-energy magnesium batteries derived from the new design can be used in all kinds of roles. They could be […]

3D printers have an ear for – making ears
A newly developed biomaterial is not just capable of being accepted by the body, but is also usable by 3D printers. Its Swiss creators demonstrated how the biocompatible hydrogel can be used to print artificial ears and other biomedical implants. The hydrogel is comprised of several biopolymers, including tiny crystals made from plant cellulose. When it is heated into a […]

New machine appears to defy the laws of physics by shattering the normal rules of light
What do you do when you want to break the laws of physics that define the movement and shape of light? Why, you build a ring-shaped device that forces pulses of light to orbit each other at very high speeds. As simple as it seems, this circular arrangement causes a light wave to lose its characteristic […]

What’s phase-change memory? It could be the future of smart devices and AI
A team of British and Singaporean researchers have been tweaking phase-change memory for a while now. Their labors finally bore fruit in the latest iteration of the memory storage technology: A phase-change random access memory system that not only altered its phase very quickly, but also boasted great stability during changes. Most compact computer storage devices […]
