A team of physicists at the Paderborn Center for Parallel Computing (PC2) are using complex computer simulations to create a novel solar cell design that demonstrates substantially higher efficiency than existing options. The enhancement in Read More
Researchers at Stanford University have developed a spring-assisted actuator that can augment electric motors to make them much more efficient at performing dynamic movements. The standard electric motor was designed for steady, ongoing activities, not Read More
Researchers at the Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a simple, groundbreaking method of rolling atomically thin sheets of atoms into nanoscrolls. Nanoscrolls have great possibilities for use in catalysis and photovoltaic devices. The team – Read More
Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a method that will efficiently and cleanly produce hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) using a photosynthetic process. This system could be further developed to construct self-cleaning surfaces Read More
A team at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) has developed a water-based ‘wood ink’ to be used for 3D printing. Sustainable structural material is important for engineering applications, and the new Read More
One of the challenges facing the economically viable and carbon neutral production of advanced biofuels is the initial phase, where plant material is decomposed. Lignin, one of the main components of plant cell walls, provides Read More
Researchers at the University of Surrey – working with colleagues at the University of Cambridge, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Xidian University, and Zhengzhou University, China – have developed a new, efficient, and affordable dual-faced Read More
A team from Hokkaido University is using cellulose to make a new category of fully recyclable polymers, which could be used as an alternative to certain plastics. Cellulose, which makes up the bulk of plant Read More
A team of researchers from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) has developed lightweight and highly efficient stretchable solar cells for energy generation in electronic gadgets and wearable devices. They state that Read More
A new reversible glue created by a team at Newcastle University’s School of Engineering may change how we recycle. Currently, labels are usually removed from items to be recycled, adding cost and time to the Read More
