In addition to Anton Paar's 100th anniversary, a subsidiary is also celebrating a major birthday this year – Anton Paar Italia turns ten.
At the KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Stanford University, scientists have fabricated a new material for computer components allowing the commercial practicality of computers that has the ability to mimic the human brain.
Prof. WANG Zhenyang's research group from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has enhanced the energy storage capacity of graphene supercapacitors via solar heating. Related research results were published in the Journal of Materials Chemistry A.
As a key precursor in the formation of new particles, sulfuric acid (H2SO4) plays an important role in the formation of aerosols and clouds in the atmosphere. Gas-phase sulfuric acid molecules can easily form molecular clusters at the beginning of nucleation through hydrogen bonding and other interactions.
Recently, the group of professor ZHANG Yongsheng from the Institute of Solid State Physics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) identified the orbital characteristic of conduction band edges in their new research, which provided novel insights into further thermoelectric enhancement of half-Heusler materials through.
All-polymer blend solar cells are expected to play an important role in the transition to clean energy technologies because they can be easily produced in large-scale flexible sheets. However, their performance has lagged behind that of more traditional silicon alternatives, as well as other organic solar cells.
