Although present in much of the clothing we wear on a daily basis, elastane is incredibly difficult to recycle. Researchers at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) have uncovered a novel method to overcome these challenges, bringing the textile industry one step closer to its sustainability goals.| AZoM
Researchers at Binghamton University are exploring how Environmental Transmission Electron Microscopy (ETEM) can be leveraged to understand corrosion at an atomic level. Their findings could affect ongoing efforts both in the fields of corrosion resistance and clean energy production.| AZoM
In a study published in Physical Review Materials, the combination of radiofrequency (RF) magnetron sputtering and an RF sulfur plasma source was used to fabricate n-type SnS thin films.| AZoM
AZoM speaks to Professor Nigel Browning from the University of Liverpool about the importance of electron microscopy development and how it aids the continuous search for clean energy, conversion, storage and transmission application materials.| AZoM
A recent study reveals that a thin gamma’-Fe4N nitride layer, formed via gas nitriding, dramatically reduces hydrogen diffusion in iron. Combining advanced microscopy and DFT modeling, this scalable barrier shows promise for hydrogen embrittlement protection.| AZoM
This article focuses on different aspects of cryo-EM, including its advantages and disadvantages, applications, the difference between cryo-EM and electron microscopy (EM) techniques, along with recent studies involving cryo-EM technology.| AZoM
Researchers transformed 2D kaolinite into 3D amorphous cement using chemical reactions in an alkaline medium. This breakthrough creates a sustainable, CO2-free alternative to traditional cement, paving the way for greener construction materials.| AZoM
