Ceramics often have microstructure and grain sizes that affect material performance. It is possible to optimize microstructure and grain boundaries with ceramic processing parameters for specific ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Hierarchical structures, spanning multiple length scales from nano- to macroscales, are very common in nature; but only in recent years have they been systematically studied in ...

Milestones of porous materials with monomodal pore structures (Porous materials 1.0): (a) new zeolite topology, (b) organic zeolites, (c) mesoporous materials, and (d) extra-large pore zeolites.

Chemistry researchers use block copolymers to create first carbon fibers with uniform porous structure. A professor in Virginia Tech's College of Science wants to power planes and cars using energy ...

Prof. Amit Bandyopadhyay's group from Washington State University presents a knowledge-based discussion of the challenges and possible future directions for the fabrication and application of porous ...

Unfortunately, ZIBs batteries suffer from the insulating iodine, low utilization ratio of active source, and the shuttle effect, resulting in the fast capacity decay and undesirable self-discharging ...
