| Building 'invisible' materials with light Posted: 28 Jul 2014 05:07 AM PDT A new technique which uses light like a needle to thread long chains of particles could help bring sci-fi concepts such as cloaking devices one step closer to reality.  |
| 'Holy grail' of battery design achieved: Stable lithium anode Posted: 27 Jul 2014 01:57 PM PDT Researchers report that they have taken a big step toward accomplishing what battery designers have been trying to do for decades -- design a pure lithium anode. All batteries have three basic components: an electrolyte to provide electrons, an anode to discharge those electrons, and a cathode to receive them. The nanosphere layer of a newly created battery design resembles a honeycomb: it creates a flexible, uniform and non-reactive film that protects the unstable lithium from the drawbacks that have made it such a challenge.  |
