Read MoreFirst X-ray of a single atom, protein for sorting rare earth elements, and other materials stories that may be of interest for June 7, 2023.
Read MoreSolid-state batteries are an emerging energy storage technology that are safer than conventional lithium-ion batteries. In an open-access paper, researchers at TU Wien demonstrated a novel solid-state battery composition that may offer certain advantages over other battery technologies—oxygen-ion batteries.
Read MoreBombarding materials with highly charged ions is one way researchers can manipulate and modify 2D heterostructures. TU Wien researchers developed a model to simulate this bombardment and reveal why, when hit, some 2D materials form nanopores and others do not.

Read MoreDetecting SARS-CoV2, ultralight but stiff sandwich nanotubes, and other materials stories that may be of interest for November 3, 2021.
Read MoreSubstitute materials are often used for restoring ivory artifacts because of the ethical implications surrounding the use of ivory. Researchers led by Vienna University of Technology and 3D printing company Cubicure GmbH developed a new material using stereolithography that they say can serve as an aesthetically and mechanically high-quality ivory substitute.
