Using 3D technology and interdisciplinary expertise, a research team has explored Buddhist temples in the remote Dolpo region of Nepal and digitized them for posterity In the high-altitude and extremely remote region of Dolpo in north-west Nepal, there are numerous Buddhist temples whose history dates back to the 11th century. The structures are threatened by earthquakes, landslides and planned infrastructure projects such as the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative. There is also a lack of financial resources for long-term maintenance….
The new study, published May 8 in Nature Communications, focused on how to better visualize what's going on in cathodes made of nickel-manganese-cobalt, or…
Here, the main focus of the investigations is on dynamic reactor operation and unconventional gas compositions using hydrogen produced by electrolysis and gas…
“Electrical engineers can already make bright LEDs using varying materials to produce different colors. But to improve display technologies, engineers must…
Rechargeable batteries are at the heart of many new technologies involving, for example, the increased use of renewable energies. More specifically, they are…
However, a critical durability problem has been low resistance to extreme alkali attack. Researchers at the University of Johannesburg have found that high…
The metal clusters were synthesized by means of wet chemistry adding gold and silver salts and ethynyladamantane molecules in a mixture of methanol and either…
Humans depend on fossil fuels as their primary energy source, especially in transportation. However, fossil fuels are both unsustainable and unsafe, serving as…
Microscopically small cages can be produced at TU Wien (Vienna). Their grid openings are only a few micrometers in size, making them ideal for holding cells…
The transition from fossil fuels to a renewable energy supply is one of the most important global challenges of the 21st century. In order to achieve the…
A problem with the current generation of silicon solar cells is their relatively low efficiency at converting solar energy into electricity, said Vikram Dalal,…
Counter-intuitive: high pressure creates cavities
Ethanol has five times higher volumetric energy density (6.7 kWh/L) than hydrogen (1.3 kWh/L) and can be used safely in fuel cells for power generation. In…
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have created and tested a single-crystal electrode that promises to yield…
The ability to visualize forces can be very useful in many industries, particularly heavy manufacturing and shipping. For example, a color-changing material…
Imagine having table salt, and wanting to form crystals of a desirable structure. The salt can be heated to its melting point which would take a lot of energy,…
On the night of Sunday, May 3, a spectacular bridge-building event will take place in Stuttgart: Stuttgarter Strassenbahnen AG (SSB) is extending the U6 light…
