Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, have the potential of outperforming classical systems on some tasks. Instead of storing information as bits, ...

Solid-state batteries are an old technology, but they have only been used for very small devices like hearing aids and ...

Solid-state dewetting describes the process by which continuous thin films, when subject to elevated temperatures or other stimuli, retract from their substrates and transform into isolated ...

A collaborated research team from the Institute of Solid State Physics, the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has discovered a high-energy-density barocaloric ...

Scientists from the University of Oxford and partner institutions have created a new class of organic materials called state-independent electrolytes (SIEs). This discovery challenges a fundamental ...

Modern power electronics are growing in both power capacity and density, making circuit protection more important than ever. There's increasing interest in solid−state circuit breakers and power ...

An increase in the demand for energy worldwide has driven the search for alternative primary sources of energy, even to the most remote locations of the globe. Natural gas, one of the leading ...

Researchers from Doshisha University, Japan, develop a novel quasi-solid-state lithium-ion battery (LIB) with non-flammable solid and liquid electrolytes. The battery has higher ionic conductivity, ...
