Aluminum: A new hero of hydrogen production
The research team solved the problem using aluminum. Aluminum is generally known to be easily corroded in alkaline environments, but the...


Hydrogen becomes a superfluid at nanoscale, confirming 50-year-old prediction
Hydrogen nano-clusters at low temperatures display ‘superfluidity’—a quantum state of frictionless flow only previously observed in helium.


Can electricity flow without electrons?
A new study challenges the six-decade-old Fermi liquid theory of electrical transport in metals. The research uses a technique called shot n

Scientists and engineers produce world's first carbon-14 diamond battery with potential lifespan of thousands of years
Scientists and engineers from the University of Bristol and the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) and have successfully created the...


New ion speed record holds potential for faster battery charging, biosensing
A speed record has been broken using nanoscience, which could lead to a host of new advances, including improved battery charging,...

New device generates electricity from moisture in the air
Over the past decade, wearable electronics — especially those with healthcare applications — have become increasingly popular, but...

3D printing method could improve micro energy storage
One key to making portable devices more compact and energy efficient lies in the precise nanoscale form of energy-storing capacitors....


A solar cell that is stretchable without sacrificing power
A solar cell that is intrinsically stretchable could be used to power wearable devices

Nanostructures in the deep ocean floor hint at life’s origin
Researchers led by Ryuhei Nakamura at the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) in Japan and The Earth-Life Science...


Safe hydrogen storage from solids
The Bochum working group is studying the micro - and nanostructure of metal alloys capable of absorbing and releasing hydrogen.

MXenes for energy storage: Chemical imaging more than just surface deep
