1+ hour ago  (145+ words) Metso's lithium carbonate process refines spodumene to battery-grade lithium carbonate in one pass, avoiding processing complexity and undesired by-products such as sodium sulfate. By minimizing the number of process steps, customers benefit from lower capital costs, improved operational stability, simplified…...

11+ hour, 35+ min ago  (444+ words) By revealing how dopant-induced disorder creates tunable superconducting "puddles" inside structurally uniform diamond, the study opens a new window into quantum materials that could one day link superconducting circuits with diamond-based qubits. Recent advancements in materials science have provided new…...

21+ hour, 27+ min ago  (1015+ words) In this interview, industry expert Iona Hill explores how Raman microscopy reveals chemical and structural changes in batteries, enabling real-time insight into degradation, electrolyte behaviour, and failure mechanisms to improve performance and design." Raman microscopy is a highly versatile technique…...

3+ week, 5+ day ago  (913+ words) Polymers today have a bad reputation " the word brings to mind microplastics, pollution, sustainability concerns. But polymers changed materials science by showing that molecular structure could be engineered to produce entirely new kinds of performance." Saving this article for later?...

1+ day, 4+ hour ago  (566+ words) Lightweight metals are used in a wide variety of applications due to their low density, high strength-to-weight ratio, and excellent corrosion resistance. Various grades of aluminum (Al) and magnesium (Mg) alloys, each with distinct compositions and characteristics, are used across…...

1+ day, 7+ hour ago  (375+ words) A new embodied AI experimentalist named Qumus moves beyond digital reasoning, using robotics, computer vision, and multi-agent planning to create graphene, recover from lab errors, and assemble atomically thin devices in the physical world. To mimic the collaborative structure of…...

3+ day, 22+ hour ago  (410+ words) It is novel that our controller can sense what is happening and react in real time," said Kris Villez, the project's lead researcher, who partnered with University of Tennessee graduate student Chris O'Brien. It controls the process almost like a…...

4+ day, 1+ hour ago  (136+ words) The new US webshop also offers Analyti Chem's sterile dye range, which plays an important role in animal health, notably in large-scale poultry vaccination programs. Dye-tracking is a simple innovation that reduces human error and streamlines the vaccination process across…...

4+ day, 2+ hour ago  (633+ words) Hydrogel composites, particularly those made of polyacrylamide combined with lithium chloride (PAM-Li Cl), have demonstrated remarkable moisture capture performance. Previous research has focused primarily on their initial uptake capacity but has lacked in-depth analysis of how hydrogel stability is affected over…...

4+ day, 5+ hour ago  (100+ words) Nanoplastics (NPs) are being increasingly recognized as potential biological hazards, but their direct effects on molecular structure and cellular function remain poorly understood. In this webinar, Assoc. Prof. Oxana Klementieva (Lund University) will present new findings based on her recent…...
