The global energy transition is surging forward. The depletion of traditional fossil fuels and the environmental pollution they cause have prompted countries worldwide to turn their attention to clean energy. As a key medium for storing and converting energy, batteries play a pivotal role across numerous industries, including new energy vehicles, energy storage systems, and consumer electronics.

Development Trends in the Pharmaceutical Intermediates Industry

Sodium-ion batteries show promise as a cheaper, more resilient alternative to lithium-ion technology, but achieving market competitiveness will require major technological advances and supportive market conditions, according to a new Stanford-led study.

Northwestern University researchers have achieved a groundbreaking development in materials science with the creation of a two-dimensional, mechanically interlocked polymer that mirrors the robust, flexible properties of chainmail.

International research team unveils the first electrically pumped continuous-wave semiconductor laser designed for seamless integration with silicon.

Residence time refers to the duration for which materials remain inside a reactor. It is a crucial parameter that affects the performance of the reactor and has a direct impact on the efficiency and quality of chemical production.

Stanford researchers have introduced a software tool that accelerates and enhances the analysis of single atom catalysts, offering profound implications for the development of more efficient catalysts.

At the end of 2024, following the keynote speech at IEDM, 2D Field Effect Transistor  (2D FETs) and carbon nanotubes were highlighted as potential future technologies for logic processes. Since their proposal in 1998, CNT FETs have shown promise after more than a quarter of a century, thanks to significant advancements in controlling the nanotube diameters during manufacturing. However, I believe 2D FETs hold greater potential as the future of logic processes. This is not only due to the industry’s relentless efforts in R&D but also because of the academic community’s exhaustive exploration of 2D materials and their physical and chemical characterizations.
