Although it may appear as if batteries come in every size & shape, as electronic devices, they become smaller without any decrease in their energy & power demands. Hence, they pose challenges to develop batteries that can fit into smaller spaces without affecting performance.
A team of chemists has formulated an MRI-based method that can swiftly diagnose what affects certain types of batteries—from establishing how much charge is present to detecting internal flaws - without having to open them.
Researchers created an elastic biodegradable hydrogel for bio-printing of materials with the ability to emulate soft tissues of the human body. In bio-printing, live cells are used within the scaffolding of the new tissues, and it could prospectively revolutionize cell printing.
Physicists and material scientists have been successful in building a motor and an energy storage device from a single component. They used an elastic polymer fiber closed into a ring that was designed to rotate on the application of an external energy supply.
A number of beneficial substances—for instance, pharmaceuticals, dyes, and advanced materials—on which our daily life is dependent, are produced by organic chemistry. Yet, it is extremely challenging to predict the characteristics of chemical substances.
Scientists at Duke University have developed the first metal-free, dynamically tunable metamaterial for manipulating electromagnetic waves. The method could form the foundation for technologies spanning from optimized security scanners to new types of visual displays.
Prototype devices developed using an exotic material with the ability to conduct a current density 50 times more than traditional copper interconnect technology have been demonstrated by engineers from the University of California, Riverside.
Researchers from the Kyoto University have reached a step closer to developing porous materials that can change and maintain their shapes—an attribute called shape-memory effect.
Sun is a source of tremendous energy, and harnessing this energy is one of the primary goals to attain a sustainable energy supply.
Nearly 60% of gasoline’s total energy is lost in the form of heat in the radiator and exhaust pipe, even in the most fuel-efficient cars. In order to overcome this, scientists have been creating innovative thermoelectric materials with the ability to transform heat into electricity.
