Taking a chemical approach, researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have developed a two-step method to convert the cellulose in raw biomass into a promising biofuel. The process, which is described in the Wed...
Rice University materials
scientists have put a new "twist" on carbon nanotube growth. The researchers
found the highly touted nanomaterials grow like tiny molecular tapestries, woven
from twisting, single-atom threads.
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Introduction to Nanocomposite Materials: Properties, Processing, Characterization" report to their offering.
This new volume presents the basics of na...
Liming Dai, the University
of Dayton's Wright Brothers Institute endowed chair in nanomaterials, and
fellow scientists have taken a step toward a more efficient fuel cell that can
be affordably mass-produced.
Fuel cells offer the key to zero emissions and reliable clean power. The new
book by John
Wiley & Sons, Fuel Cells: Fundamentals (2nd edition)
takes the miracle of fuels cell into the real world by introducing the basic
science behind the technology.
University of Surrey,
test tube chemistry just took a leap down in size to the nano-scale, with new
test-tubes measuring only about one billionth of a metre across. The scaling
factor is like scaling up from a normal test tube to one a hundred kilometres
across.
University of Utah
physicists and chemists developed a new method that uses a mirror of tiny silver
"nanoparticles" so microscopes can reveal the internal structure of
nearly opaque biological materials like bone, tumor cells and the iridescent
green scales of the so-called "photonic beetle."
The discovery that butterfly wings have scales that act as tiny solar collectors has led scientists in China and Japan to design a more efficient solar cell that could be used for powering homes, businesses, and other applications in the future.
Yissum Ltd., the Technology Transfer Company of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, today announced that Professor Nissim Garti from the Casali Institute of Applied Chemistry, Institute of Chemistry at the Hebrew Univers...
Quantum dots have the potential to bring many good things into the world: efficient solar power, targeted gene and drug delivery, solid-state lighting and advances in biomedical imaging among them.
But they may pose ...
