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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Without a sieve or a mill, pharmaceutical tablet manufacture is almost impossible. These are required whenever active and inactive materials are handled, when tablets or other products are made.

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 ...
