Credit: Brookhaven National Laboratory UPTON, NY--A team of researchers led by chemists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory has studied an elusive property in cathode materials, called a valence gradient, to understand its effect on battery performance. The findings, published in Nature Communications, demonstrated that the valence gradient can serve as a new approach for stabilizing the structure of high-nickel-content cathodes against degradation and safety issues. High-nickel-content cathodes have captured the attention of scientists for their high ca...

Three scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have been selected by DOE’s Office of Science to receive significant funding through its Early Career Research Program.

By jeure on June 7, 2012. Mantis shrimp, or stomatopods, are the planet’s most powerful bare-knuckle boxers, armed with dactyl clubs that literally fly faster than a speeding .22 caliber bullet. Each strike boils the surrounding water and creates a tiny cavitation bubble, which then implodes with a sonic pop that can render targets unconscious. Consider that: if the strike itself doesn’t get you, its aftershock will. And that’s just the variety of stomatopod equipped with blunt fists -  others launch their lance-like arms to pierce prey. These little lobster cousins...

share: This news release, originally issued by the University of Virginia, describes the development of a new 3d-printable soft material that matches the mechanical properties of vocal cords. The researcher team collaborated with Brookhaven Lab scientists Guillaume Freychet and Mikhail Zhernenkov  to reveal the inner makeup of the printed material. By using the Soft Matter Interfaces (SMI) beamline at the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II), the team was able to investigate the sample without damaging the samples. NSLS-II is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Scienc...
