Unlocking the Microscopic Origins of Dendrite Formation in Solid-State Batteries
1+ day, 10+ hour ago (378+ words) Lithium metal anodes offer a theoretical energy density nearly double that of conventional graphite anodes—454 Wh kg?¹ compared to 314 Wh kg?¹ at the cell level when paired with lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide cathode. Sep 12 2026 Lithium metal anodes offer a…...
Tougher by Design: Multilayer Coatings Boost the Durability of 3D-Printed Polymers
2+ day, 6+ hour ago (649+ words) Surface coatings offer a way to address these challenges. Metallic and ceramic layers can provide properties the polymer alone cannot, including greater wear resistance, corrosion protection, surface hardness, and electrical functionality. However, polymers present difficult coating substrates because metals and…...
3D-Printed Copper Inductors Free Up Valuable Chip Space for RF Electronics
3+ day, 11+ hour ago (295+ words) By building microscopic copper coils vertically above chip contact pads, researchers tested whether RF inductors can escape the planar space constraints that have long complicated circuit miniaturization. Paper: On-chip 3D printing of metal microinductors for radio frequency electronics A recent study…...
Liquid Metals Can Stretch Thousands of Percent. Printing Them Is the Hard Part
6+ day, 12+ hour ago (157+ words) From printable circuits to electronic skin and stretchable batteries, researchers are learning how to tame the unusual properties that make liquid metals both exceptionally useful and notoriously difficult to manufacture. The expanding use of wearable and flexible electronics has increased…...
Ceramic Battery Breakthrough Powers the Future of Reliable Electric Transportation
1+ week, 6+ day ago (749+ words) Lithium-ion batteries power transportation and grid storage and enable our digital lives, but these ubiquitous batteries require frequent recharging and can fail over time. To make batteries more reliable and longer lasting, researchers are exploring how to replace liquids inside…...
Liquid Metal Valve Keeps Circuits Working at 1000% Strain
1+ week, 6+ day ago (177+ words) An engineered liquid metal-semiconductor interface turns a traditionally passive conductor into a current-controlling component, opening new possibilities for circuits that can stretch, reshape, and reconfigure in real time. The researchers also showed that the switching voltage could be tuned by…...
Forge Nano Breaks Ground on "America's Battery Gigafactory" to Strengthen U.S. Defense Supply Chains
3+ week, 2+ day ago (667+ words) Forge Nano Breaks Ground on a major expansion of its lithium-ion battery manufacturing facility in Morrisville, North Carolina, as part of its U.S. battery manufacturing platform and in partnership with Samsung SDI. The expansion will transform Forge Nano's existing 100,000-square-foot Morrisville…...
When Water Improves a Battery: Rethinking a Long-Held Assumption in Sodium-Ion Energy Storage
3+ week, 4+ day ago (554+ words) The University of Surrey team focused on nanostructured sodium vanadate hydrate (NaV3O8.xH2O or NVOH), a layered material capable of storing sodium ions. Structural water sits in the lattice and widens vanadium-oxide layers, creating larger channels that allow sodium ions to move…...
Microspectrophotometry in OLED Research and Quality Control
3+ week, 4+ day ago (966+ words) Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays are created using arrays of self-emissive subpixels. Individual subpixels are reaching the micron scale, but their collective luminance and spectral behavior determine a display's lifetime, uniformity, and perceived color accuracy. Traditional colorimeters and spectroradiometers average…...
Accelerating FOUP Contamination Screening with Real-Time AMC Analysis
3+ week, 5+ day ago (833+ words) Front-opening unified pods (FOUPs) are used for wafer transport and storage between semiconductor manufacturing process steps. Despite careful control, these mini-environments can see a build-up of airborne molecular contaminants (AMCs) due to prior process exposure, material outgassing, and interaction with…...
