TOFWERK is excited to welcome you to Analytica 2022 in Munich, Germany, June 21-24. The International Trade Fair for Laboratory Technology, Analysis and Biotechnology is the world’s largest science and industry event.
An international team, which included Skoltech researchers and their colleagues from France, the United States, and Switzerland, found out why energy losses occur during the charge-discharge cycle in lithium-ion batteries with cathodes made from complex lithium-rich oxides of transition metals.
Rigaku, a leading manufacturer of X-ray analysis and inspection equipment, has determined the composition of the asteroid Ryugu, providing valuable insights into unlocking secrets behind the formation of our solar system.
A new cluster molecule has been discovered by researchers at Kyoto University’s Institute for Cell-Material Sciences, which might be beneficial as a catalyst.
Excess carbon dioxide emissions have resulted in climate difficulties and greenhouse effects as the industry has evolved during the last century. Scientists are continually attempting to find answers to the difficulties due to greenhouse gases, which are warming the earth’s surface and lower atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is the most common greenhouse gas.
Oil spills and industrial pollution are significant threats to the environment. Concerns over safety have seen a high focus on enhancing the filtration of oily wastewater; for instance, at the time of the treatment of sewage.
At the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a research team has come up with a flow-electrode capacitive desalination technology along with a three-dimensional (3D) foam current collector for real seawater desalination.
???????External mechanical stress causes mechanoluminescent materials to generate visible or invisible light. Excitation can be induced by bending or moderate pressure, but it can also be completely achieved without contact using ultrasound.
Polymers, which are huge molecules built up of smaller molecules that repeat, are present in almost everything humans use in their daily lives. Polymers can be either natural or man-made. DNA, proteins, and materials like silk, gelatin, and collagen are examples of natural polymers, often known as biopolymers.
Scientists from China have investigated the use of silk sericin, a protein that naturally occurs in silkworm cocoons, in biomedical applications. Their findings have been published in a pre-print paper in the journal Biomaterials.
