source: Lawrence Berkeley National LaboratoryThe element actinium was first discovered at the turn of the 20th century, but even now, nearly 125 years later, researchers still don't have a good grasp on the metal's chemistry. That's because actinium is only available in extremely small amounts and working with the radioactive material requires special facilities. But to improve emerging cancer treatments using actinium, researchers will need to better understand how the element binds with other molecules.In a study led by the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National La...

source:Songshan Lake Materials LaboratoryResearchers at Songshan Lake Materials Laboratory have made significant advances in sodium-ion battery (SIB) technology by improving cycling performance of the NaNiO2 cathode. The work has been published in the online edition of Materials Futures.They successfully synthesized, for the first time, the cathode active material NaNi0.9Ti0.1O2, which delivers a specific capacity of 190 mAh/g, thus positioning it as a potential candidate for application in high-energy-density SIBs. This innovative approach not only improves battery stability but also propels ...

source: Indian Institute of ScienceThe human eye can only see light at certain frequencies (called the visible spectrum), the lowest of which constitutes red light. Infrared light, which we can't see, has an even lower frequency than red light. Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have now fabricated a device to increase or "up-convert" the frequency of short infrared light to the visible range.Up-conversion of light has diverse applications, especially in defense and optical communications. In a first, the IISc team used a 2D material to design what they call a ...
