Laboratory ball mills are a key component in the battery production value chain. They are used in several key application areas across research and development, manufacturing, and quality control ...

C-doped MgB2 tapes were fabricated using crystalline boron as one of the ball milled precursor powders. It was found that the ball milling process can strongly enhance the Jc values of MgB2 tapes and ...

There are a number of methods of making carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and fullerenes. Fullerenes were first observed after vaporizing graphite with a short-pulse, high-power laser, however this was not a ...

Grinding materials to a nano-scale is an important aspect of quality control and R&D. AZoM speaks to Dr. Tanja Butt from RETSCH GmbH about the benefits of using High Energy Ball Mills instead of ...

Cheaper, more efficient lithium-ion batteries could be produced by harnessing previously overlooked high pressures generated during the manufacturing process. Scientists at the University of ...

Researchers have pioneered a simple, but efficient and eco-friendly way to produce Edge-selectively functionalized graphene nanoplatelets (EFGnPs) by dry ball milling graphite in the presence of ...

Researchers at Deakin’s Institute for Frontier Materials have discovered a new method, “ball milling,” to store gas in a special nanomaterial at room temperature. The method relies on mechanochemical ...

This development amplifies the appeal of installing solar panels. Scientists make incredible breakthrough that could transform energy sector: 'It could play a significant role' first appeared on The ...

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are potentially harmful substances known as 'forever chemicals' because they are so difficult to destroy. One emerging technique to degrade PFAS involves ...

A reactor that uses steel balls to smash together nitrogen, hydrogen, and an iron catalyst can produce a continuous stream of ammonia, even at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The discovery ...
