Researchers created very stable & efficient CQD-based solar cells by employing an amorphous organic layer to block oxygen & water permeation.
Scientists at Tokyo Metropolitan University and Shimane University have developed a transparent hybrid film that blends dyes and natural clay minerals to form a material which has the ability to change its color as a response to environmental humidity.
A researcher has designed a smooth, durable, clear coating that quickly sheds oils, water, alcohols, as well as peanut butter. This indeed could be a step towards grime-proof camera lenses, phone screens, countertops, and numerous other daily items.
A super-thin, non-toxic, ultra-white coating that is lightweight & edible has been developed. The coating can be used to produce brighter coatings & paints.
Dr. Liang Yao has invented a unique technique for preparing semiconducting covalent polymer networks (CPNs). The new method is designed to advance the application of the materials in optoelectronic devices.
The ever-expanding field of spintronics exploits the spin of electrons, and not their charge, to improve solid-state devices such as cell phone components.
Researchers are currently involved in designing new materials for the construction of wind turbines which are resistant to extreme climate.
An invention with the potential to enhance the conductivity of a kind of glass coating used on objects such as solar cells, touch screens, and energy-efficient windows has been made by scientists from the University of Liverpool.
For the bonding process of two pieces of metal, either the metals must melt a little where they meet or a bit of molten metal must be added between the pieces. A solid bond then forms when the metal hardens again. But researchers at MIT have found that in certain cases, melting can actually impede metal bonding rather than enhance it.
Water- and dirt-repellent outdoor clothing and sportswear, or anti-fog windshields – there are many daily use products that can gain from very hydrophobic coatings. For such coatings, researchers guided by Dr. Bastian E. Rapp at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have created Fluoropor, a material that is both abrasion-resistant and transparent and that comprises of a fluorinated polymer foam with continuous nano/micro-structure. Fluoropor is described in Nature Scientific Reports.
