Nanotechnology Leads to Self Healing Paints and Clever Packaging

Research chemists at the University
of Warwick have devised an elegant process which simply and cheaply covers
small particles of polymer with a layer of silica-based nanoparticles. The final
result provides a highly versatile material that can be used to create a range
of high performance materials such as: self healing paints, and clever packaging
that can be tailored to let precise levels of water, air or both pass in a particular
direction.

The Current State of the Global Semiconductor Market

The global semiconductor market has entered an exciting period. Demand for chip technology is both driving the industry as well as hindering it, with current chip shortages predicted to last for some time. Current trends will likely shape the future of the industry, which is set to continue to show

How are Graphene Batteries Made?

The primary distinction between graphene-based batteries and solid-state batteries lies in the composition of either electrode. Although the cathode is commonly changed, carbon allotropes can also be employed in fabricating anodes.

What Role Will The IoT Play In The Electric Vehicle Industry?

In recent years, the IoT is rapidly being introduced into almost all sectors, but it has particular importance in the EV industry.
