Altermagnetism: SLAC’s experimental proof of a third magnetic phase
Newswise (SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory) USA Overview Researchers led by SLAC have provided conclusive experimental evidence for altermagnetism, a third magnetic phase that combines properties of ferromagnetism and antiferromagnet... -
Proterial and FEV: Amorphous-Alloy EV Motor Simulation Specs
Charged EVs USA Overview Proterial and FEV have simulated an EV traction motor combining amorphous alloy cores with heavy-rare-earth-free magnets to increase peak power from 230 kW to 300 kW. The design reduces motor weight by 27% and im... -
Bio-inspired Metamaterial: Multifunctional Radar and Noise Shield
Inovação Tecnológica Brazil Overview Researchers from the Harbin Institute of Technology have developed a 24 mm thick multifunctional metamaterial inspired by butterfly wing structures. The material simultaneously provides high mechanica... -
Biohybrid Mesh Harvester: Human Heart Cell Power Generation Specs
XenoSpectrum USA Overview Researchers from UMass Amherst and the University of Connecticut developed an ultrathin piezoelectric mesh that integrates with human cardiomyocytes to harvest electricity from heartbeats. By embedding the gener... -
Food-Waste Biochar-Graphene Hybrid: Heat Storage Specs and Performance
BIOENGINEER.ORG USA Overview Researchers have developed a biochar-graphene hybrid from mixed food waste that stores heat via phase-change materials with up to 90.2% latent heat retention after 1,000 cycles. The composite addresses leakag... -
TiO2@SiO2/Chitosan Coating: Room-Temperature Egg Preservation
BIOENGINEER.ORG Overview A fluorine-free, water-based superhydrophobic coating composed of TiO2@SiO2 and chitosan reduces weight loss and microbial contamination in eggs stored at room temperature. In a 49-day trial at 25 ± 1 °C, coated ... -
Germanium-Telluride: Single Material for Memory and Selector
Bioengineer.org (Applied Microscopy) USA Overview Researchers have developed a monolithic 1S1R cross-point device using a single binary material, germanium-telluride, where composition determines whether the layer acts as a memory cell o... -
Heterogeneous Metalens Arrays: Widening XR Light-Field Displays
BIOENGINEER.ORG USA Overview Researchers have developed a heterogeneous metalens array that enables a light-field near-eye display with a 50-degree field of view, approximately four times that of conventional 13-degree displays. By custo... -
AlCoCrFeNi(CuTiZr) HEA: Phase Arrangement vs Oxidation Rate
BIOENGINEER.ORG USA Overview Phase morphology alone can alter the oxidation rate of a dual-phase AlCoCrFeNi(CuTiZr) high-entropy alloy by nearly fourfold, independent of chemical composition. This finding establishes phase arrangement as... -
CO2-derived Vitrimer Epoxy: Tensile Strength and Recycling vs Epoxy
Bioengineer.org (Journal of Materials Science) USA Overview A CO2-derived vitrimer matrix achieves tensile strength (495 MPa) comparable to conventional epoxy (514 MPa) in carbon fiber composites while enabling recyclability. Although fl...
