Study opens a new route to achieving mechanical metamaterials
Mechanical metamaterials exhibit unusual properties, such as negative Poisson’s ratio, which are difficult to achieve in conventional materials. Rational design of mechanical metamaterials at...
Converting eggshells into bulky nanoporous graphene and pure hydrogen
In a new study, scientists at the UNIST have uncovered a new method that converts discarded eggshells into hydrogen. Their novel method holds the...
Ultrafast-charging Silicon-based anodes for Li-ion batteries
Fast charging rate and large energy storage are becoming key elements for the development of next-generation batteries, especially for high-performance electric vehicles. Developing electrodes...
Converting waste heat into electrical energy
Thermoelectric (TE) materials are popular because they enable energy conversion between heat and electricity. Those devices are made from materials that can convert a...
Peering into the nanoworld with matter-wave diffraction
Sometimes, there is a negligible form of energy exists between the particles to emit a tremendous influence throughout. Such kind of forces that rules...
Study introduces templated heating of carbon with graphene for high quality graphite
An international tea of scientists led by UNIST has recently discovered a novel approach for creating synthetic graphite with well-oriented crystallites. The discovery offers an...
Novel technology for highly ordered arrays of ‘graphene quantum dot’
UNIST scientists have developed a new technology that can potentially fabricate highly ordered of graphene quantum dot (GQD). Moreover, it could pave the way for...
Scientists turn carbon emissions into usable energy
Carbon emissions contribute to climate change, which can have serious consequences for humans and their environment. Carbon emissions, in the form of carbon dioxide,...
New class of solar cells, using lead-free perovskites material
Lead-based perovskites are quite promising in applications of large-scale photovoltaic technology. However, toxicity is one of the crucial issues in these materials.
In the search for Lead-free perovskite,...
