KAIST Succeeds in Producing 50x More Stable Adsorbent

“A KAIST research team developed a technology to increase the stability of amine-containing adsorbents by fifty times, moving one step further toward commercializing stable adsorbents that last longer. Professor Minkee Choi from the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and …

Molecules Brilliantly Illuminated

“Physicists at the Laboratory for Attosecond Physics, which is jointly run by Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität and the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, have developed a high-power laser system that generates ultrashort pulses of light covering a large share of the mid-infrared …

Nanoparticle Breakthrough Could Capture Unseen Light for Solar Energy Conversion

“An international team of scientists has demonstrated a breakthrough in the design and function of nanoparticles that could make solar panels more efficient by converting light usually missed by solar cells into usable energy. The team, led by scientists at …

Neutrons provide insights into increased performance for hybrid perovskite solar cells

“Neutron scattering has revealed, in real time, the fundamental mechanisms behind the conversion of sunlight into energy in hybrid perovskite materials. A better understanding of this behavior will enable manufacturers to design solar cells with increased efficiency. The multi-institutional team …

New research could literally squeeze more power out of solar cells

“Physicists at the University of Warwick have published new research in the Journal Science (today 19th April 2018 - via the journal’s First Release pages) that could literally squeeze more power out of solar cells by physically deforming each of …

Paper As a Substrate for Circuits

“I’ve spent a considerable portion of my time in the past couple of years helping to develop products for Chibitronics, a startup that blends two unlikely bedfellows together, papercraft and electronics, to create paper circuits. The primary emphasis of …

PC Controlled Robotic Arm

“I have always admired the modern manufacturing technologies and the important role played by these machines in different areas of manufacturing such as: lifting materials, installing and collecting parts, welding and cutting and last but not least its usability in …

Quantum shift shows itself in coupled light and matter

“A team led by Rice University scientists used a unique combination of techniques to observe, for the first time, a condensed matter phenomenon about which others have only speculated. The research could aid in the development of quantum computers. The …

Simple ultrasonic levitation apparatus

“If you want to experiment with ultrasonic levitation and let objects float through the energy of sound waves, you do not need any scientific equipment, complicated controls or expensive kits. An Arduino, a stepper motor driver and a rebuilt distance …

Spectator Qubits Seek to Improve Control of Four Quantum Computing Systems

“International project led by Duke University engineers receives $6 million from Army Research Office An international team of researchers led by Duke University has received more than $9 million to investigate the potential advantages of using a “spectator qubit” to …
