In order to reduce the amount of greenhouse gasses and stop global warming, the transition to a renewable energy-based society needs to be accelerated. The production of energy-dense and high-performing batteries is a key ...

A versatile group of 2D carbide materials from the past decade, MXenes, have attracted attention for their rich chemistry and wide range of properties. The perhaps best known MXene, namely, Ti3C2Tx, has been observed to ...

The state was investigated of the copper surface in phosphate buffered saline (PBS; 140 mM Cl−, 10 mM phosphate; pH 7) by a combination of cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry (CA) with in situ spectroscopic ...

In Czochralski monocrystalline silicon growth, structure loss (SL) is the loss of the mono-crystalline structure. It represents a significant loss of productivity. In this work, this phenomenon is investigated by statistical ...

Lette våpen som håndvåpen, rifler og granater står for de fleste dødsfall i moderne konflikter, og behovet for robuste materialer til vern mot slike våpen er stort. Denne rapporten har tatt sikte på å avdekke hvilken effekt ...

Direct Reduction processes use gases (CO and H2) for iron reduction and production of sponge iron or direct reduced iron (DRI). The generation of this gas occurs through methane reforming, which can be done in a reformer ...

High voltage XLPE cable cores have been subjected to wet ageing following the recommendations in CIGRE TB 722. The electrical ageing was performed at 500 Hz and 10 kV/mm. Vented water trees were detected initiating and ...

The elastic and anelastic properties of a single crystal of Co-doped pnictide Ba(Fe0.957Co0.043)2As2 have been determined by resonant ultrasound spectroscopy in the frequency range 10–500 kHz, both as a function of temperature ...

Commercially pure aluminum with random texture was prestrained either by rolling or by uniaxial compression, and then tested in uniaxial tension to study the transients in flow stress, work hardening and r-value induced ...

Strain-phonon coupling, in terms of the shift in phonon frequencies under biaxial strain, is studied by density functional theory calculations for 20 perovskite oxides strained in their (111) and (001) planes. While the ...
