Lithium was supposed to be soft. The metal bends easily in bulk form, stretches before it breaks, and deforms the way you ...

Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have developed a 4D-STEM workflow that can isolate and solve atomic structures from individual nanocrystals buried inside dense, tangled clusters, ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a new way to determine atomic structures from nanocrystals previously considered unusable, ...

Researchers at Utrecht University have quantitatively mapped the three-dimensional structure of photonic supraparticles for ...

Under the microscope, plankton becomes an unlikely star as artist Jess Holz documents their movements to highlight both their ...

A new species of chiton — a tiny, armored marine mollusk from a lineage roughly 500 million years old — has been identified ...

Lithium dendrites, i.e. tiny crystalline thorns that grow off of lithium-ion battery anodes during charging, have been a ...

Researchers characterized two moisture-swing polymers for direct air capture, finding that macropore structure governs CO2 sorption capacity and kinetics.

Researchers at Utrecht University have quantitatively mapped the three-dimensional structure of photonic supraparticles for the first time. Until now, researchers could only examine the outer surface ...

A scalable spray-drying method produces graphite, carbon nanotube, and silicon composite anodes that retain 95% capacity after 100 cycles in lithium-ion batteries.
