Researchers at Georgia Tech and Hanoi University have capitalized on a powerful supercomputer to build a database that could identify new superconducting materials that work at room temperature.
The team has identified two possible candidates using…
A good battery needs two things: high energy density to power devices, and stability, so it can be safely and reliably recharged thousands of times. For the past three decades, lithium-ion batteries have reigned supreme — proving their performance…
Polymers are well known macromolecules in materials science and engineering communities, but most of us may not be aware of how often we’re touching, using, and interfacing with these materials. Polymers can be engineered to have desired properties…
Assistant Professor Shaolan Li in the School of Electrical and Computer (ECE) has been awarded the prestigious Trailblazer R21 Award from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering(NIBIB). The research will be performed with…
The amount of published materials science research is growing at an exponential rate, too fast for scientists to keep up. To help these scholars, a first-of-its-kind materials science data extraction pipeline is now available to make their research…
Batteries. They come in numerous shapes, sizes, and lettered designations; they power everything from telecoms satellites to children’s toys; your TV remote goes through them too quickly and a dead one in your car will have you asking strangers for…
What started as a simple errand to deposit a check at a bank drive-through became the kind of “aha” moment found mostly in books and movies.
Georgia Tech researchers had been working on an idea to simplify traditional direct air capture (DAC)…
Amid the surge in demand for lithium-ion batteries, which power everything from smartphones to electric vehicles (EVs), there is a greater need to properly recycle them. The Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) is working to optimize Georgia’s EV…
The need to remove organic contaminants from surface waters continues to grow due to an increasing influx from industrial, municipal, and agricultural sources. But these contaminants are challenging to remove outside of thermally driven separation…
Future generations of solid-state lithium-ion batteries based on hybrid ceramic-polymer electrolytes could offer the potential for greater energy storage, faster recharging, and higher electrochemical and thermal stability – while overcoming…
