Today's rechargeable batteries are a wonder, but far from perfect. Eventually, they all wear out, begetting expensive replacements and recycling.
ABB has been awarded a contract worth around $30 million by the Canadian data and analytics company EarthDaily Analytics Corp. to develop and manufacture next-generation multispectral imaging systems to be placed on 10 satellites that will circle the Earth.
Omniseal Solutions, a design engineering and manufacturer of precision sealing solutions and materials for over 60 years, has made the business decision to conclude their Rulon® material distribution partnership with Fluorten®, a plastic fabrication company in Italy.
A recent paper presented in the Energy Storage Materials journal presents a novel approach to stabilizing the Zn anode in a non-concentrated aqueous zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate electrolyte through the use of a dimethoxyethane (DME) additive.

Within the joint project LAOLA (funding code: 03INT509AF), which was funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and has now been completed, large-area lighting applications with organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) on flexible substrates should be developed.
Luxinar is looking forward to a return to face-to-face exhibiting at Laser World of Photonics, Munich, Germany, 26- 29 April 2022, when it will showcase laser sources from its CO2 and femtosecond ranges on stand A5.225.
British research team of agricultural engineering and machinery experts develops harvesting robot with IDS camera
A team of scientists headed by Dr Chang Su Kim from the Department of Nano-Bio Convergence of the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) successfully developed a material that offers antibacterial/antiviral properties without altering the physical properties of different products used commonly.
While solar cells are normally used to convert light into electricity, researchers have demonstrated that they may also be utilized to produce high-speed underwater wireless optical communication. The novel method, which relied on a network of series-connected solar cells as detectors, could provide a low-cost, low-energy mechanism to send data underwater.
A research team led by Lund University in Sweden has shown how solar power can convert carbon dioxide into fuel, by using advanced materials and ultra-fast laser spectroscopy. The breakthrough could be an important piece of the puzzle in reducing the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere in the future. The study is published in Nature Communications.
Green hydrogen is an important component in a climate-neutral energy system. It is produced by electrolytically splitting water with wind or solar power and stores this energy in chemical form.
A nanomaterials-engineered penetrating sealer developed by Washington State University researchers is able to better protect concrete from moisture and salt – the two most damaging factors in crumbling concrete infrastructure in northern states.
