Veronica Augustyn, Center for Dielectrics and Piezoelectrics faculty member at North Carolina State University has found that a material which incorporates atomically thin layers of water is able to store and deliver energy much more quickly than the … [Read more...]
Lowering the Heat Makes New Materials Possible While Saving Energy
A new technology developed by Penn State researchers, called cold sintering process (CSP), opens a window on the ability to combine incompatible materials, such as ceramics and plastics, into new, useful compound materials, and to lower the energy cost of many types of manufacturing. To see the work CDP's Clive Randall is engage in go here: [Read more...]
