Advanced analytical techniques bolster battery design
Researchers artificially generated the representative architecture of a lithium-ion electrode particle with sub-particle grain detail, broadening opportunities for battery design improvements.
Canada lab going remote due to COVID-19
Canada’s only level four laboratory, meaning one that is equipped to work with the most deadly and serious diseases, is going remote for most workers.
New incubator for AI collaboration
The new AI Innovation Incubator’s goal is to create a bond between industry and lab/academic sectors through cognitive simulation.
SLAC's new concept for high-performance detectors
Today, that building-block approach is the centerpiece of SLAC’s vision for next-generation detectors that can keep pace with ever more demanding experiments at the lab.
New thermoplastic rubber with high impact punch
This material would be considered valuable in the automotive industry, especially as lightweight materials that can also withstand damage are highly sought.
Testing method gauges the safety of biomaterials
The testing protocol could form the basis of an early-warning system to flag materials that are not suitable for clinical use inside the human body.
Watch labor shortages introduce pharmaceutical struggles
A survey completed in Ohio found that 60% of workers felt that their workload was forcing them to perform their duties unsafely or ineffectively.
New audio tech for border surveillance
Dstl suggests that the patented technology behind POPE could also be used in other applications including as directional detection systems for gunshots or drones.
Chemists create new mode of adsorption
Mechanisorption uses mechanical bonds in the form of molecular chains physically threaded through rings to control the chemistry at surfaces and interfaces.
Acoustic waves wash microplastics from water
The force produced by acoustic waves generated with two speakers was demonstrated to separate microplastics by increasing pressure on a three-channel tube of inflowing water.
Watch a RHINO on the scent of wastewater treatment plant odors
Affixed to a drone, the electronic nose sniffs out and measures odors emanating from wastewater treatment facilities.
World's first laser-based manipulation of antimatter
Recent developments in laser-based cooling of antimatter could provide valuable insights into how our world and universe works.
Quality assurance in fastener assembly
It is more important than ever for quality assurance teams to provide effective support for workers in every step of the assembly process.
Video: Countdown to liftoff for James Webb Space Telescope
The observatory has been fueled in preparation for its late December launch on an Ariane 5 rocket from the European Space Agency Spaceport in French Guiana.
Reducing nitrate in groundwater with organic carbon
Nitrate degradation is enhanced by adding carbon-containing substances to groundwater.
Researchers develop rapid testing tool for COVID-19
The goal is to offer a highly accurate test that can be used in health facilities, but also in homes as well.
Critical need for eco-friendly firefighting foam
Currently there is nothing on the market that comes close to the effectiveness of AFFF that could be considered environmentally friendly and a deadline is fast approaching.
Chew on this to reduce COVID transmission
Chewing gum containing vegetable protein functions as a viral trap and reduces the viral load in saliva and potentially transmission.
This camera can see the unseen
This research could play a large part in noninvasive medical imaging, finding health issues at more treatable phases. Navigation systems in vehicles and industrial machinery can be repaired in record time.
Video: Drilling for deep ice in Antarctica
Researchers plan to collect the oldest continuous ice core in Antarctica and provide a record of the climate spanning some 1.5 million years.
