A team from the Tulane University School of Science and Engineering has developed a new family of two-dimensional materials that researchers say has promising applications, including in advanced electronics and high-capacity batteries.
The new µStat-i MultiX streamlines daily work into a multi-user experience of efficiency, versatility, and reliability. Metrohm DropSens is pleased to announce the launch of the new µStat-i MultiX for flexible electrochemical analysis. This instrument is designed for multi-user and multi-disciplinary laboratory research teams.
CSEM worked with matriq AG to develop an innovative marking technology for plastics called DynamicMold. Together, they manufactured a MEMS micro-heating system that applies data matrix codes directly onto plastic components during molding.
“Best Practice-Oriented Poster” goes to CSEM and Meteotest, for their work understanding the performance of data-driven and weather-based PV forecasting techniques.
The SiliconPV 2022 Award honors the best 10 ranked contributions to the SiliconPV 2022 conference. The contributions were selected via a double-blind review process by a panel of silicon photovoltaic experts.

Visualize a scenario where a psychic tells the parents of a newborn child, how long the child would live.
For the first time, a collaborative research team directed by scientists from Stockholm University has been able to examine a copper-zinc catalyst’s surface when carbon dioxide (CO2) is reduced to methanol (CH3OH).
It has the color of white gold, but it is hard like quartz glass and at the same time exhibits high elasticity. The smooth surface is free of crystalline structures and makes the material resistant to salts or acids. Individual pieces - for medical implants, for example - can be produced using 3D printing, while larger series - for watch cases, for example - are manufactured using injection molding.
Holding the right material at the right angle, Cornell researchers have discovered a strategy to switch the magnetization in thin layers of a ferromagnet – a technique that could eventually lead to the development of more energy-efficient magnetic memory devices.
