Wind-swept, wet, freezing cold or blazing hot – Wind turbines have to withstand the most extreme climatic conditions on a daily basis, accelerating the aging…
Magnonics investigates the possibilities of using spin waves to transmit and process information. Whereas photonics deals with photons and electromagnetic…
Researchers at Columbia University have developed a way to harness more power from singlet fission to increase the efficiency of solar cells, providing a tool…
Most soft robots are actuated by rigid, noisy pumps that push fluids into the machines' moving parts. Because they are connected to these bulky pumps by tubes,…
Today, air pollution is one of the biggest challenges facing European cities. As part of the Horizon 2020 research project CARES (City Air Remote Emission…
Crunching, the serrated metal roller eats its way into the battery modules, crushes the plastic frames, slits the silver foils of the lithium polymer packs,…
The beginning of this project dates back to 2012-2013, when team leader Ayrat Dimiev was working at Rice University, Houston, TX, USA, with Professor James…
The technique, which could be used with existing pressurized water reactors as well as future designs expected to require less frequent refueling, could…
ngineers at Duke University have developed a method for extracting a color image from a single exposure of light scattered through a mostly opaque material….
Lead perovskites with white-light emission have been studied, but the photoluminescence quantum efficiencies (PLQEs) are low. However, the large-scale…
Physicists from the University of Warwick and the University of Washington have developed a technique to measure the energy and momentum of electrons in…
Finding inexpensive solutions for propelling CubeSats is one of the most critical components of the rapidly growing industry of commercial launches of…
Metal-air batteries have been pursued as a successor to lithium-ion batteries due to their exceptional gravimetric energy densities. They could potentially…
Organic light-emitting diodes are components that no longer consist of compounds containing the semiconducting material gallium, but of so-called organic…
Control Engineers of the Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg, in collaboration with colleagues from the Jülich Research Center, have developed a method for…
Water and energy production is deeply intertwined, says Wenbin Wang, a Ph.D. student in Peng Wang's labs at the University's Water Desalination and Reuse…
