Hyperbolic metamaterials (HMMs) continue to be intriguing due to their applications in super-resolution imaging and spontaneous emission control. One of the successful realizations of HMMs is a layered metal-dielectric film. Despite the extensive knowledge in thin-film technology and the promises of...

This study investigates the role of microporous carbons and carbonate-based electrolytes in addressing challenges related to polysulfides dissolution and electrolyte compatibility in lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries. By employing microporous carbons and varying the sulfur content, we investigate ...

Crystal structure classification of binary intermetallic structures with 1:3 stoichiometry was done with machine learning algorithms. The data set included 97 features and a total of 2366 reported compounds adopting six different structure types. An unsupervised learning method based on principal co...

Water-responsive materials and uses therefor

A rotary engine that generates electricity using differences in relative humidity. A water-responsive material expands and contracts as water evaporates which drives the rotation of two wheels. The rotary motion drives an electrical generator which produces electricity. In another embodiment, the wa...
