Smart Clothes with Electrodes

It’s a whole new way of thinking about sensors. The tiny fibers developed at the Swiss university in Lausanne École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) are made of elastomer and can incorporate materials like electrodes and nanocomposite polymers. The fibers can detect … Weiterlesen …

3D Printing to the Molecular Limit

“This bottom-up approach to device fabrication will push the boundaries of additive manufacturing like never before,“ predicts Dr Victor Sans Sangorrin, University of Nottingham Faculty of Engineering. „Using a unique integrated design approach, we have demonstrated functional synergy between photochromic molecules and … Weiterlesen …

Nanotubes as Usable as Common Plastics

Northwestern University’s Jiaxing Huang used an inexpensive solvent called cresol – a common chemical that was once used in household cleaners. He has discovered a way to make disperse carbon nanotubes at unprecedentedly high concentrations without the need for additives or harsh chemical … Weiterlesen …

New Laser Energy Record

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s (LLNL) National Ignition Facility (NIF) laser system has set a new record, firing 2.15 megajoules (MJ) of energy to its target chamber — a 15 % improvement over NIF’s design specification of 1.8 MJ, and more … Weiterlesen …

Lignin-based Aerogels

It almost looks like chocolate, but this is aerogel: solid, highly porous material with low density and low thermal conductivity. Still, the production of pure lignin aerogels is not possible. A team led by the Professor Irina Smirnova from the Technical … Weiterlesen …

Sculpting with Graphene Foam

The squishy solids look and feel something like a child’s toy but offer new possibilities for energy storage and flexible electronic sensor applications, according to James Tour, chemist at Rice University. The technique is an extension of groundbreaking work by the Tour lab … Weiterlesen …
