Superlubricity Research Offers More Energy Efficiency
January 23, 2024 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… University of Leicester scientists have made an insight into superlubricity, where surfaces experience extremely low levels of friction. This could benefit future technologies by reducing energy lost to friction by moving parts. As many of us are stepping carefully to avoid a slip and fall in the frosty weather, scientists led by the University […]

One Atom Thick Ribbons Improve Batteries Solar Cells Sensors
October 19, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Researchers at University College London (UCL) have created one-atom-thick ribbons made of phosphorus alloyed with arsenic that could dramatically improve the efficiency of devices such as batteries, supercapacitors and solar cells. The UCL researchers found they were able to conduct electricity at temperatures above -140° Celsius, while retaining the highly useful properties of the phosphorus-only […]

New Record Supercapacitor Storage Achievement
July 20, 2023 | Leave a Comment
University of Texas at El Paso researchers describe how they have achieved the highest level of energy storage – also known as capacitance – in a supercapacitor ever recorded. Years ago there was a series of supercapacitor claims that simply didn’t come to fruition. The new landmark study claims are quite worthwhile after a long […]

A Tohoku University led international research group has engineered a new energy-generating device by combining piezoelectric composites with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP), a commonly used material that is both light and strong. The new device transforms vibrations from the surrounding environment into electricity, providing an efficient and reliable means for self-powered sensors. Details of the […]
