The Ohio State University researchers have now achieved a milestone to success, following the debut of the world's first solar air battery the previous year. Their patent-pending design, which integrates both solar cell and battery into a single device is capable of achieving 20% energy savings when compared to conventional lithium-iodine batteries.
DVD material holds tremendous potential. This has been proven by an international research team, which has discovered that the material is suitable as a highly rapid light switch for data processing or optical communication.
Researchers at MIT and other institutes have identified that two processes previously thought to be unrelated, catalysis and wetting, are closely related to each other. This surprising result could help to identify new catalysts for specific applications.
An international team of researchers, including a geoscientist from Virginia Tech, has demonstrated how nature employs different pathways for crystal growth that outperform the classical, one-atom-at-a-time route.
A new technology developed by Kiel University scientists allows visual identification of even minute temperature differences at high spatial resolution, irrespective of the material. This novel concept reported in the current edition of Advanced Materials journal, challenges other similar procedures.
Researchers at Purdue University have discovered sinuous flow deformation in metals, and an astonishingly simple method to suppress this deformation. This discovery could help advance manufacturing by increasing the efficiency of machining, and by reducing the energy and force required for metal processing.
Dr. Zelalem N. Urgessa, a post doctoral student with the Nano Photonics Group in the Department of Physics of the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, is this year’s winner of the Division for Physics of Condensed Matter and Materials competition for the Goodfellow Award for Best Publication by a PhD Student in the field of condensed matter and materials.
With over 30 years’ experience in the field, Hiden Analytical remains dedicated to producing mass spectrometer-based gas analysis systems. The latest product catalogue, just released, highlights the full range of application-specific systems for analysis of gases and vapours in diverse environments, addressing measurement of samples at pressure from millibars to 30 atmospheres and with sample quantities down to less than 0.1scc.
Using this technology, tests show plane’s luggage hold may be able to contain force of an explosion if a device hidden in a passenger’s luggage detonates.
A team of researchers in the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin is involved in developing smart windows with advanced energy efficient engineering materials capable of allowing windows to reveal light without transferring heat-transfer and, conversely capable of restricting light while allowing heat to pass through. These concepts are illustrated by them in two new research papers.
