In 2012, more than 3 million people had stents inserted in their coronary arteries. These tiny mesh tubes prop open blood vessels healing from procedures like a balloon angioplasty, which widens ...

Since biology excels at making strong and hard substances, such as bone, teeth, and seashells, scientists who design new materials often try to emulate nature’s inventions. For Galen D. Stucky of the ...

In the era of climate crisis, hydrogen vehicles are emerging as an alternative for eco-friendly mobility. However, the fuel cell, known as the "heart of the hydrogen car," still faces limitations of ...

Zinc is an important element that is found widely in biological systems, is cheap to manufacture relative to other metals, and has low toxicity. However, unlike other similar metals that exhibit a ...

Detection of material failure is a difficult task for engineers, because cracks inside a material block can hardly be identified from the outside. However, early detection can prevent fatal disasters ...

Teeth are composites of mineral and protein, with a bulk of bony dentin that is highly porous. This structure allows teeth to ...

HOUSTON, December 22, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EverZinc Corporation ("Everzinc" or the "Company"), a global provider of specialty zinc materials including fine zinc powders, zinc oxides, zinc battery ...

Zinc-based batteries are rechargeable, using zinc as the anode material. During discharge, zinc atoms oxidize, releasing zinc ions that travel through the electrolyte to the cathode, where they are ...

Up to now, it has only been possible to deduce indirectly why high-temperature batteries lose efficiency and durability while ...

Indian scientists have developed a novel cathode material that significantly enhances the performance and stability of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs), marking a step forward in grid-scale ...

Researchers have synthesized a zinc complex based on two zinc centers that absorbs visible light. They demonstrated that this capability depends on the proximity of the zinc ions, where the complex ...
