Keeping work surfaces clean during meat processing is a challenge. Bacteria from meat can attach, grow, and build up to create a biofilm that is difficult to remove, even on stainless steel surfaces ...

To create the new batteries needed for EVs, mobile devices and renewable energy storage, researchers have explored new materials, new designs, new configurations and new chemistry. But one aspect – ...

Researchers have found a new method for making ultrathin metal-oxide sheets containing intricate wrinkle and crumple patterns. In a new study, the researchers show that the textured metal-oxide films ...

Researchers at GE have come up with a way to treat metals so that they repel water. The extreme water-repelling property, called superhydrophobicity, means that water forms drops on the surface ...

The preferred orientation of crystallites constituting polycrystalline solid materials such as metals, ceramics or composites significantly influences the intrinsic properties of the respective solid.

A recent study by industry partner Thermo Fisher Scientific and Professor Shirley Meng’s Laboratory for Energy Storage and Conversion, published in Joule, found that modifying the texture of metal can ...
