One nanotube could be great for electronics applications, but there's new evidence that two could be tops.
The production of highly sensitive sensors is a complex process: it requires many different steps and the almost dust-free environment of special cleanrooms.
Terahertz (THz) waves fall between microwave and infrared radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum, oscillating at frequencies of between 100 billion and 30…
The unique structures of biological vision systems in nature inspired scientists to design ultracompact imaging systems. A research group led by Professor…
An international research team, led by Prof. Dr. Oliver G. Schmidt, Chair of the Professorship of Material Systems for Nanoelectronics at Chemnitz University…
Various nanocarbons are being studied and used for purifying water and wastewater by adsorbing dyes, gases, organic compounds and toxic metal ions. These…
Scientists at TU Dresden and Hasselt University in Belgium investigated the physical causes that limit the efficiency of novel solar cells based on organic…
A team of scientists led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has captured in real…
The team made a clever tweak to the part of the battery called the separator, which serves as a barrier between the anode and cathode, so that it slows down…
The team at the Department of Microsystems Engineering (IMTEK) has developed a novel, transmissive optofluidic component for adaptive optics.
The new antifouling UV spotlight was developed for the continuous deployment on the three autonomous MARNET measuring stations, which the IOW operates in the…
A KAIST team created stretchable OLEDs (Organic Light-Emitting Diodes) that are compliant and maintain their performance under high-strain deformation. Their…
With one of the colour cameras positioned below the droplets and the other to the side, the synchronised system was able to record the moment one of the…
Purdue University researchers developed their device to decrease energy consumption of the vapor-compression heat pump cycle, which is commonly used in homes,…
