The advancement of large-scale energy storage devices having flexibility, high energy conversion efficiency, and easy maintenance is urgently needed due to the exponentially expanding application of solar energy systems, such as wind and solar energy.
A new hydrogen fuel cell has been developed by scientists at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). The fuel cell is not just considered to be the long-standing one developed in the world so far but is also highly affordable.
Due to their ultra-thin thickness, dangling-bond-free flat surface, and superior gate controllability, two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, such as MoS2, open up previously unimaginable possibilities for overcoming the transistor scaling bottleneck and creating novel logic circuits with increased speed, reduced power consumption, flexibility, and transparency.
After returning from their trip into space, tablets subjected to the harsh effects of cosmic radiation have shown some unexpected results: those with increased aroma were not degraded as much as those with less taste.

Panacol has developed new UV curable masking materials for industrial processes. These masking materials are part of the Vitralit® MASK product line.
An international team of researchers, led by scientists at the University of Manchester, has developed a fast and economical method of converting methane, or natural gas, into liquid methanol at ambient temperature and pressure. The method takes place under continuous flow over a photo-catalytic material using visible light to drive the conversion.
Converting petroleum into fuels involves crude chemistry first invented by humans in the 1800s. Meanwhile, bacteria have been producing carbon-based energy molecules for billions of years. Which do you think is better at the job
Humanity's dependence on batteries for cellular phones, laptops, electric vehicles, and grid storage is fueling a demand for better battery technology.
This year we celebrate the 20th anniversary of TOFWERK! Please join us for a public open house on August 20, 2022 at our headquarters in Thun, Switzerland to mark this exciting milestone.
In a paper published in the ACS Applied Energy Materials journal, researchers produced novel Au/K4-xHxNb6O17 nanocomposites by a single-step preparation in an aqueous medium surrounded by Au poly(ethyleneimine) (Au-PEI). The Au-PEI nanoparticles were immobilized by exploiting the intercalation chemistry of K4-xHxNb6O17 nanosheets. The nanocomposites prepared were successfully applied in photoinduced H2 evolution.
