You’re going to have to think very small to understand
something that has the potential to be very big.
A team of researchers, including Kyle Brinkman of Clemson
University, developed a material that acts as a superhighway for ions. The
material could make batteries more powerful, change how gaseous fuel is turned
into liquid fuel and help power plants burn coal and natural gas more
efficiently.
The team reported its findings Friday in the journal Nature
Communications.
