Organic photovoltaic cells hold great promise for conversion of energy. They are flexible and can be produced at low cost, which make them attractive for various applications. However, their power conversion process is complex, which has been detrimental to their wide adoption.
It is a well-known fact that bursting bubbles release aerosol droplets, but a new study performed by Princeton researchers has revealed that the same process can also disperse small droplets of a surface material into a liquid. This finding has huge potential in science and industrial sectors, where mixing of liquid solutions is a major concern.
Saint-Gobain Seals' Rulon® J polymer material was recently selected to improve the performance of a bicycle rear shock absorber manufactured by a US bicycle component manufacturer at their production facility in ...
Researchers have designed an optoelectronic camouflage system inspired by cephalod skins, which enables a material to read and adapt to its environment automatically and thus seamlessly blend with its surroundings. This technology has been published in a paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science journal.
Qualoupe Lite, Bibby Scientific's low cost, intuitive laboratory information management system (LIMS), is now available across an even wider selection of the company's laboratory equipment.
University of Notre Dame researchers have studied the basic optical properties of organic-inorganic "hybrid" perovskites, a new class of semiconducting materials. The study results are published in the journal, Nature Photonics.
A new white paper titled The Efficient Use of Elements urges researchers to develop alternative materials and novel methods to technology development to address the issue of scarcity in the supply of critical elements used in a range of products from electric motors to hybrid cars and the iPhone.
A research team comprising computer scientists and engineers from the MIT, the Wyss Institute, and Harvard's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) used Shrinky dinks™ and paper to design an autonomous robot.
Spider silk is an impressive material; lightweight and stretchy yet stronger than steel. But the challenge that spiders face to produce this substance is even more formidable. Silk proteins, called spidroins, must convert from a soluble form to solid fibers at ambient temperatures, with water as a solvent, and at high speed.
MIT engineers have fabricated a new elastic material coated with microscopic, hairlike structures that tilt in response to a magnetic field. Depending on the field's orientation, the microhairs can tilt to form a path through which fluid can flow; the material can even direct water upward, against gravity.
