Biomanufacturing Using Sugar From Chemicals Now Possible

February 21, 2024 | Leave a Comment

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Osaka University researchers succeeded in biomanufacturing a sugar product using chemically synthesized sugar for the first time. With refinement of this technology, one can envision a future society in which the sugar required for biomanufacturing can be obtained ‘anytime, anywhere, and at high rate’. In the future, biomanufacturing using chemically synthesized sugar is expected […]

New Supercapacitor Made Without Carbon

October 18, 2016 | Leave a Comment

MIT researchers have for the first time developed a supercapacitor that uses no conductive carbon at all. The new supercapacitors could potentially produce more power than existing versions of this technology. Energy storage devices called supercapacitors have become a hot area of research, in part because they can be charged rapidly and deliver intense bursts […]

Making Carbon Harder Than Diamonds at Room Temperature

December 3, 2015 | Leave a Comment

North Carolina State University scientists have discovered a new phase of solid carbon, called Q-carbon, which is distinct from the known phases of graphite and the hardest substance of all, diamond. Phases are distinct forms of the same material. For example graphite is one of the solid phases of carbon and diamond is another. They […]
