A pinch of salt dramatically improves the performance of batteries

It turns out that salt is more than just a versatile condiment: Researchers found that salt can also be used to significantly boost the performance of batteries. The research teams from the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research, Queen Mary University of London, and the University of Cambridge discovered that once salt is added to a supermolecular sponge […]

The emerging field of “spintronics” uncovers an unexpected phenomenon in how electrons “spin” which could help develop more efficient computing devices

The accidental discovery of the zero field switching (ZFS) effect is a major leap forward in the field of spintronics. It could pave the way towards memory and computing devices that are both smaller and draw less power, according to an article in NanoWerk. The University of Maryland (UMD) defined spintronics as the role of nuclear and […]
