In Marvel’s recent blockbuster Black Panther, the material behind the hero’s super powers is a substance called Vibranium. In the movie, this meteorite material has the ability to store vast amounts of energy and absorb […]
It’s been just over five years since researchers in Drexel’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering reported on a new, two-dimensional material composed of titanium and carbon atoms. Their creation, dubbed MXene, which is, cleverly, […]
Last week Samsung issued the largest mobile device recall to date, when it warned users of its Galaxy Note 7 that a battery defect was causing the devices to catch fire and explode. Samsung attributed […]
We need better ways to store and use energy, that’s no secret. Cell phones need charging every day, electric cars only have a range of about a hundred miles and our ability to use solar […]
The Feb. 18 edition of the journal Advanced Energy Materials featured a graphic illustrating the materials science behind Drexel’s capacitive yarn and textiles for energy storage. The cover story, which describes the process of making […]
The biggest drawback preventing widespread use of renewable energy isn’t cloudy, wind-free days. It’s actually the relative stubbornness of the batteries used to store the energy generated by the solar panels and windmills. They fill […]
Though their practice and passion may often seem to be at opposite ends of the creative spectrum, a common thread exists between fashion designers to materials engineers. And now a doctoral student at Drexel is […]
