A novel technique is being developed that makes it possible to imitate the fine and complex structure of seashells, teeth and other biological composite materials in order to mimic their hardness.
Research highlights of the September 2015 issue of the University of Electro-Communications e-Bulletin include: innovative organolead halide perovskite solar cells solar cells with conversion efficiencies over 20%; quantum dot solar cells; analysis of apparently smooth movements that may help to understand jerky motor motion; and Professor Takayoshi Kobayashi’s pioneering research on ultrashort pulse lasers, ultrafast spectroscopy, and quantum information.
Monochromators are used to separate a broadband light source into a narrow wavelength band of interest; this is commonly achieved using a diffraction grating which can be rotated precisely through small angles. The simplicity of monochromators means that they are small, lightweight and portable. They are ideal for use in spectroscopy due to their narrow wavelength bands and ability to target specific lines.
A team of researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology and the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) has proved that 3D printing technology could be used to create intricate self-folding structures.
A research team at UNSW Australia has developed a new model for fabricating metallic glass, an extremely strong alloy with high flexibility.
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) are developing a new low-cost catalyst, which could help address the inhibition problem that is preventing more cleaner and efficient running of automobile engines.
Researchers at the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung in Düsseldorf have discovered that manganese steel forms a different crystal structure at typical linear defects.
A group of scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory and the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology at the University of Twente in The Netherlands has observed a dynamic Mott transition in a superconductor.
A research initiative led by scientists from Stanford University and the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory reveals the motion of individual atoms at a speed of trillionths of a second, creating wrinkles on a material that is three atoms thick.
A team of German and American physicists from the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), the University of Kaiserslautern, the University of Konstanz, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), have been able to trace the origin of the Spin Seebeck effect (SSE).
