A team of researchers from UK’s Bangor and Oxford universities have been able to increase the potential of the microscope using spider-silk as a superlens. A way to extend the resolution of a classical microscope has been long sought after in the field of microscopy.
Rechargeable batteries in tablets, cars and smartphones do not last forever, even though they can be repeatedly charged. Very often old batteries end up in incinerators or landfills, which could potentially harm the environment, and valuable materials continue to remain locked inside.
Biochar is a cost-effective material is rich in carbon, and has been used by two SDSU engineering researchers to develop the porous surface required to capture electricity. This new technique of developing a porous surface will help to reduce the cost of supercapacitors.
Michigan State University (MSU) has conducted a research study that displays how Geobacter bacteria grow as films on electrodes to generate electricity. This process is now ready for industrial applications and has been featured in the recent issue of Nature Communications.
Silicon particles that could lead to the development of “biointerface” devices have been engineered by a group of scientists from the University of Illinois at Chicago, the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Argonne National Laboratory, the University of Chicago, and Northwestern University.
A new catalyst capable of making biodegradable plastics obtained from renewable materials has been developed by the IBM and Stanford chemists as a result of their long-standing partnership. This new invention holds promising alternatives to plastics produced from oil.
Scientists of Tomsk State University are working on changing physicochemical properties of zeolites using thermal and mechanical treatment. Based on the results of this research the scientists will be able to create a new material for a portable device for hemodialysis.
New measurements may have lifted the veil on the vexingly elusive interactions through which lithium can moderate the manic highs and debilitating lows experienced by people who suffer from bipolar disorder—about 2.6 percent of Americans, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.
Band gaps in spider silk have been found by Rice University Scientists in Singapore and Europe.
The biodegradable polymer polylactic acid, also known as PLA, is widely used in manufacturing of various products, ranging from disposable cups, to drug delivery systems, to medical implants.
