source:Energy Live NewsBritain is reportedly planning to take steps to start the domestic production of rare earth magnets in a bid to cut its reliance on Chinese imports.Rare earth metals are used for the manufacturing of magnets for wind turbine generators and electric vehicle (EV) motors.According to reports, a new feasibility study is expected to be published in the coming days, laying out the necessary steps the UK needs to take to produce rare earth permanent magnets.A future magnet factory could help the UK meet its goal of banning petrol and diesel cars by 2030.In April, a ￡100 million...

source:DIGITScientists from Southampton have developed a new data storage writing method using lasers that can supposedly hold hundreds of terabytes of data on CD-sized glass.According to a released paper, the new ‘5D’ optical data storage method uses laser technology to write high-density nanostructures into silica glass, causing the disk to become 10,000 more dense than Blu-Ray.Researchers claimed that not only is the storage system incredibly dense, but can write at 1 million voxels per second, the equivalent of writing more than 230 kB of data, or more than 100 pages of text, per second.As...

source:AZO MATERIALSThe Covid-19 pandemic has demonstrated the urgent need for antiviral and antimicrobial coatings for surfaces in public spaces and healthcare environments. Recent research published in October 2021 in the journal Microbial Biotechnology has demonstrated a rapid nano-Zinc oxide doped preparation for polyurea coatings that seeks to address this issue.The Need for Hygienic SurfacesAs demonstrated by multiple outbreaks of communicable diseases, surfaces are a source of pathogen transmission. The pressing need for rapid, effective, and non-toxic chemicals and antimicrobial and an...

source:Concordia universityA new kind of metal–organic framework created in the Howarth Lab can rapidly break down sulfur mustardResearchers at Concordia are studying the potential applications of a type of compound called metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). They have designed a new kind of microscopic structure that can rapidly mitigate chemical weapons when exposed to ultraviolet light.MOFs are artificially created hybrid networks of metal clusters bound to each other by organic linkers called ligands. They are usually open-faced and porous, sometimes described as sponge-like. They are extremel...
