A team of scientists at the U.S.
Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, in collaboration
with researchers from the University of Delaware and Yeshiva University, has
developed a new catalyst that could make ethanol-powered fuel cells feasible.
Thin film solar cells, based on non-toxic, abundant and air-stable silicon (Si) will probably, based on forecasts, dominate the photovoltaic market in the future and thus replace bulk Si from its leading position. This p...
The method, which is based on near-field microscopy, opens new avenues for analyzing mechanical properties of high-performance materials or for contact-free mapping of local conductivity in strain-engineered electronic devices
Engineers at Purdue and
Stanford universities have created stretchable electrodes to study how cardiac
muscle cells, neurons and other cells react to mechanical stresses from heart
attacks, traumatic brain injuries and other diseases.
Scientists at Penn State University
and the Virginia Commonwealth University have discovered a way to produce hydrogen
by exposing selected clusters of aluminum atoms to water. The findings are important
because they demonstrate that it is the geometries of these aluminum clusters,
rather than solely their electronic properties, that govern the proximity of
the clusters' exposed active sites.
Many hopes are pinned on spintronics. In the future it could replace electronics, which in the race to produce increasingly rapid computer components, must at sometime reach its limits. Different from electronics, where ...
The process of oil and water separation has been revolutionized by a completely
new technology from Aqueous
Recovery Resources. Systems harnessing
this technology, which is based on basic principles of fluid dynamics, are saving
time and money because it requires no maintenance, electronic control, energy
or consumables.
Jizhou Song, a professor in the University
of Miami College of Engineering and his collaborators Professor John Rogers,
at the University of Illinois and Professor Yonggang Huang, at Northwestern
University have developed a new design for stretchable electronics that can
be wrapped around complex shapes, without a reduction in electronic function.
After announcing last April a method for growing exceptionally long, straight,
numerous and well-aligned carbon cylinders only a few atoms thick, a Duke
University-led team of chemists has now modified that process to create
exclusively semiconducting versions of these single-walled carbon nanotubes.
Researchers at Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute have discovered a new method for controlling the nature
of graphene, bringing academia and industry potentially one step closer to realizing
the mass production of graphene-based nanoelectronics.
