Researchers at Arizona State University are seeking to cut costs and stabilize the supply chain in battery technology by mixing lithium and sodium. Lithium’s rapidly increasing use in lithium-ion batteries for electric cars, computers, and Read More
An international research team – from Kyushu University in Japan and Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz in Germany – has created a system that transforms blue LED light into high-energy Ultraviolet B (UVB) light. The new Read More
Researchers from the University of Hong Kong have created a plastic alternative that is transparent, completely edible, and fully degradable after two months. The team worked with bacterial cellulose – a sheet-like substance made of Read More
Tohoku University in Japan has led an international team in engineering a new energy-harvesting device that can transform vibrations from the surrounding environment into electricity. This technology could be used for making self-powered IoT sensors. Read More
A global team led by David Lee Phillips and Zheng-Xiao Guo at the University of Hong Kong has created a novel nanomaterial that can extract hydrogen from fresh or salt water using solar energy. As Read More
Dr. Matt Trau’s team at The University of Queensland (UQ) in Australia are making powdery ‘nanoprobes’ from baker’s yeast that can detect COVID-19. The new dust sensors are designed to be used in high-risk environments Read More
An international team of researchers from Sichuan University, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a wearable textile that can convert body movements into usable electricity and also store that energy. Read More
The Department of Energy has awarded US$3.2 million to Solar MEAD – a joint project headed by CEMEX, Sandia National Laboratories, and Synhelion – which has the goal of decarbonizing cement production. The project aims Read More
Scientists from the Tokyo Metropolitan University (TMU) – led by Assistant Professor Yusuke Nakanishi and Associate Professor Yasumitsu Miyata – have made a significant breakthrough in synthesis techniques for TMC nanostructures. Transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs) Read More
Drones are often used for unmanned transport tasks, such as delivering food and medical supplies to people in emergency situations. Currently, commercial drones can typically only carry 10% to 30% of their own mass as Read More
