Breakthrough Technique to Create Cubic Boron Nitride at Ambient Temperature and Air Pressure

A team of researchers from North Carolina State University have determined a new phase of boron nitride (Q-BN), which plays a vital role in both electronic displays and manufacturing tools. The team have come up with a new method for forming cubic boron nitride (c-BN) at ambient air pressure and temperatures. This method is used for a wide range of application, such as the develop,emt modern power grid technologies.

Nanostructured Membranes Could Help Stop Growth of Dendrites in Lithium Batteries

Rechargeable lithium metal batteries have been known for four decades to offer energy storage capabilities far superior to today’s workhorse lithium-ion technology that powers our smartphones and laptops. But these batteries are not in common use today because, when recharged, they spontaneously grow treelike bumps called dendrites on the surface of the negative electrode.

New Analysis Reveals Nanoscale Structure of Pore Spaces in Kerogen

Kerogen is a dark-colored hydrocarbon solid that develops the fuels used for many daily activities. The main source of diesel fuels and gasoline is petroleum, and natural gas is utilized mainly for producing electricity, and also for heating and cooking. Despite this, the basic internal structure of kerogen is poorly understood.
