Control Your Temperature With New Material For Clothes
April 30, 2019 | Leave a Comment
University of California – Irvine researchers use design inspiration from the skin of stealthy sea creatures. The engineers have developed a next-generation, adaptive space blanket that gives users the ability to control their temperature. The innovation is detailed in a study published in Nature Communications. Co-author Alon Gorodetsky, UCI associate professor of chemical & biomolecular […]

An All New Light Emitting Diode
April 25, 2019 | Leave a Comment
Scientists at TU Wien (Vienna) have now succeeded in using exotic bound states of particles to create a novel kind of light-emitting diode. In ultra thin materials, exotic bound states of particles can be created which are then converted into light. When particles bond in free space, they normally create atoms or molecules. However, much […]

A New Way Found To Use Water To Make Fuel
April 24, 2019 | Leave a Comment
University of Oklahoma engineers have discovered a novel approach for the water-assisted upgrading of the renewable chemical, furfural, doubling or tripling the rate of conversion. Daniel Resasco, professor in the School of Chemical, Biological and Materials Engineering, Gallogly College of Engineering explains, “Energy and water are interconnected in the production of renewable fuels. On the […]

Small Catalysts Locked Into The Host
April 23, 2019 | Leave a Comment
Queen Mary University of London scientists have found a way to place catalysts inside the tiniest pores of different host materials. The team compares the process to fitting model ships that are unfolded inside a bottle. When materials are confined like this on such a small scale, and without breaking the host, they behave differently […]

Self Clearing Water Desalinator Made With Wood
April 18, 2019 | 1 Comment
University of Maryland researchers have demonstrated a successful prototype of one critical component for affordable small-scale desalination: an inexpensive solar evaporator, made of wood. About a billion people around the world lack access to safe drinking water. Desalinating salty water into drinkable water can help to fill this dangerous gap. But traditional desalination systems are […]
