Researchers at Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute of Solar Energy Systems have developed highly-porous metal organic frameworks (MOFs) that can be applied in a thin layer to efficiently absorb large quantities of water vapor. MOFs, as determined by research published in RSC Advances, are three-dimensional porous structures consisting of metallic clusters and organic linkers adept … [Read more...]
Superconducting Refrigerator Cools via Tunneling Cascade
Researchers from Italy and France have proposed a new design for a superconducting refrigerator that uses a series of steps to more effectively cool objects down to temperatures near absolute zero. Conventional superconducting refrigerators rely a array of superconductors (S), normal metals (N) and tunnel barriers (I) that are arranged in a symmetric configuration (SINIS or … [Read more...]
New Magnetocaloric Material Could Lead to Greener Refrigerators
The recent discovery of a new magnetocaloric material with intriguing characteristics could lead to a greener method of cooling, potentially providing a more environmentally-friendly alternative to standard refrigeration. A joint team of researchers from Canada and Bulgaria have developed a new method of green cooling by identifying a multiferroic compound, HoMn2O5, that could … [Read more...]
Rugged Circuit Functions at Temperatures Greater than 350 Degrees Celsius
Researchers at the University of Arkansas have developed integrated circuits capable of surviving at temperatures greater than 350 degrees Celsius, or approximately 660 degrees Fahrenheit. Created using silicon carbide, a semiconducting material that is more rugged than conventional materials used in electronics, the new circuits are expected to improve the operation of analog … [Read more...]
Scientists Achieve First Measurement of Moly’s Thermal Conductivity
Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Physical Measurement Laboratory have succeeded in measuring the thermal conductivity for the first time of an ultra-thin material that is expected to play a major role in the developing field of nanoelectronics. Molybdenum disulfide, also known as molybdenite or “moly” for short, is a 2D material that measures … [Read more...]
