Due to their great performance and cheap production cost, perovskite solar cells show potential as a future energy technology.
Lithium-ion batteries are the favored technology for powering electric vehicles at the moment, but they are too costly for long-term grid-scale energy storage systems, and lithium is getting increasingly difficult to come by.
A team of researchers from Italy have authored a new paper considering how to improve the circularity of oil refineries, in particular reusing by-products of the oil industry. Their research has appeared in Energies.

A new artificial enzyme has shown it can chew through lignin, the tough polymer that helps woody plants hold their shape. Lignin also stores tremendous potential for renewable energy and materials.
Most 3D printing methods currently in use rely either on photo (light)- or thermo (heat)-activated reactions to achieve precise manipulation of polymers.
Bettersize Instruments is taking part with its partner Minael in the fifth international conference on materials & environmental science (ICMES 2022)
Researchers have succeeded in developing a coating material that can be written on with UV light and then removed with oxygen. Modifications on rewritable paper might help cut down on paper waste in a number of settings.
Traditional bandages could be useful for healing minor skin abrasions, but soft-tissue injuries, such as those on the tongue or sensitive regions like the intestines, are more difficult to treat.
Prof. Tao Chen’s team at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ (CAS) Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) suggested a strain-perception-strengthening (SPS) enabled biomimetic soft skin that can convert from tactile to pain perception dynamically.
Scientists from the Czech Technical University in Prague’s faculty of civil engineering have investigated the biodegradability and ecotoxicity of ‘bone glue,’ a protein-based adhesive. The results of this investigation have been published online in a study in Polymers.
