A nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center is a flaw in the diamond crystal structure that occurs when an adjacent lattice site becomes unoccupied and a nitrogen atom takes the place of a carbon atom.
Vanadium redox flow batteries, which can store a significant amount of energy and are used by a variety of industries, including electric power utilities, have a successful method for reducing charge capacity loss described in an article published by researchers at the Center for Development of Functional Materials (PDFF) in Brazil. The Chemical Engineering Journal published the article.
Scientists at the Botucatu Institute of Biosciences (IBB-UNESP) at São Paulo State University in Brazil have created a unique biomaterial that accelerates the differentiation of osteoblasts, or bone cells. The innovation could be applied in the future to a variety of operations, including bone grafting, bone regeneration, and dental implant recovery.
An urgent environmental concern has been brought to light by a ground-breaking scientific study carried out along the Southeast coast of India: the growing likelihood of invasive species colonizing marine debris.
