The epidermal biofuel cells are a major breakthrough in the field, which has been struggling with making the devices that are stretchable enough and powerful…
Thanks to its sophisticated CMOS line sensor, the LAH-G1 series gives particularly precise measurements with a resolution of up to 0.5 µm. Moreover, the series…
Specifically, the two tuning nanoscatterers set the resonator at an “exceptional point,” a special state of a system at which unusual phenomena may occur. The…
Compensating for the fluctuating electricity generated by renewable energies
Low-cost “microsatellites” and “nanosatellites” far smaller than conventional spacecraft, have become increasingly prevalent. Thousands of the miniature…
Organic solar cells are flexible, transparent, and light-weight – and can be manufactured in arbitrary shapes or colors. Thus, they are suitable for a variety…
Jean-Sabin McEwen knocks out a web search for “North Dakota,” “night sky” and “flaring,” and quickly finds a picture from space showing a glowing cluster…
A newly developed filter, which removes more than 99 percent of heavy metal toxins from water, shows potential for water remediation in developing nations…
Infrared and UV light have a significant part in the process of filling the barbecue sauce safely and without germs into the bottles.
A new, ultrathin energy harvesting system developed at Vanderbilt University's Nanomaterials and Energy Devices Laboratory has the potential to do just that….
This is just one possible application of a new type of robot created by mechanical engineers at Stanford University, detailed in a June 19 Science Robotics…
Supercapacitors are an aptly named type of device that can store and deliver energy faster than conventional batteries. They are in high demand for…
A wave to the left: the drone moves to the left. A wave to the right: the drone turns right. Clench your hand into a fist and it lands gently on the table. No,…
Driven by rising demand, the global production of wood pellets has risen rapidly over the last ten years. While the production volume in 2006 was estimated at…
The technology could also enable a new class of devices that can be powered by harvesting energy from low-power sources, such as the body or the surrounding…
To ensure that the exercise equipment with its smooth and glossy surface can look its best as well, gas catalytic ovens from Heraeus Noblelight are used to dry…
