New lithium-ion battery: It’s a stretch

News: Energy Storage    February 27, 2013
Twist, bend and stretch – and store electricity…..credit: J. Rogers, U. of Illinois In roughly the last decade, there is a substantial research track looking for ways to generate electricity for personal devices, especially those carried or worn such as watches, phones, small computers and the like. The most attractive approach is through piezoelectricity where [...]

Stretch graphene, europium titanate – get interesting results

News: Nanotechnology    August 22, 2010
Forgive the pun, but a new way to get unusual behavior from graphene or europium titanate is a stretch. Literally a stretch, as in taking the material (which is produced in sheets) and stretching it. Stretching is a basic physical technique but applied to unusual materials it sometimes produces unexpected results. In this case two [...]
