Does ski wax harm the ecosystem? What can we do to create a more eco friendly solution? Ramsey and Professor Jeff Bates of the University of Utah chat about some exciting materials engineering going into ski wax. Articles Discussed:
New nanosheets for electronics, energy storage, and health and safety applications
GaN-on-diamond shown to be innovative semiconductor material for first time
materials systems and essential mechanisms for novel brain-like computing identified
Researchers have managed to develop novel electrode and electrolyte materials for lithium-ion batteries that don't contain any cobalt.
A new composite binder made primarily of fly ash, a by-product of coal-fired power plants, can replace Portland cement in concrete.
