RESET® Spearheads New Airborne Particulate Monitoring Standard
Working with an international team of experts from universities on the forefront of air quality monitoring research, RESET® will be releasing a new air quality standard aimed at providing a framework for qualifying airborne particulate sensors – specifically optical particle counters – used for indoor and outdoor air quality monitoring.
First detailed electronic study of new nickelate superconductor
The answers could help advance the synthesis of new unconventional superconductors and their use for power transmission, transportation and other applications, and also shed light on how the cuprates operate – which is still a mystery after more than 30 years of research.
Materials That Defy The Most Extreme Conditions
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have recorded the most detailed atomic movie of gold melting after being blasted by laser light. The insights they gained into how metals liquefy have potential to aid the development of fusion power reactors, steel processing plants, spacecraft and other applications where materials have to withstand extreme conditions for long periods of time.
Optical Displays Made Thinner With Synthetic DNA
DNA drives design principles for lighter, thinner optical displays Lighter gold nanoparticles could replace thicker,...
MOF Nanoparticles Used to Deliver Killer Protein to Cancer
In our design, self-assembly of MOF nanoparticles and encapsulation of proteins are achieved simultaneously through a one-pot approach in aqueous environment. The enriched metal affinity sites on MOF surfaces act like the buttonhook, so the extracellular vesicle membrane can be easily buckled on the MOF nanoparticles.
CO2 Electrochemical Reduction Unveils Renewable Energy Opportunities
Researchers uncovered a heterogeneous catalysis strategy that deliberately targets post-C-C coupling reaction intermediates during CO2 electrochemical reduction reaction. It opens avenues to the design of efficient catalysts that selectively produce higher-carbon liquid alcohols.
Velodyne LiDAR Brings World’s Most Advanced LiDAR Sensor
Velodyne LiDAR Brings World’s Most Advanced LiDAR Sensor. Adding the world’s most advanced LiDAR sensor to the Renovo AWare ecosystem provides fleet operators with the range, resolution and accuracy needed to guide autonomous vehicles reliably and safely through complex driving situations and conditions.
photodetector could improve night vision, thermal sensing and medical imaging
Using graphene, one of science’s most versatile materials, engineers from the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering have invented a new type of photodetector that can work with more types of light than its current state-of-the-art counterparts. The device also has superior sensing and imaging capabilities.
Cystic Fibrosis Therapy Improved by Lipid-Based Nanoparticles
Researchers at Oregon State University and Oregon Health & Science University are working on a treatment that holds great promise for improving the lives of cystic fibrosis patients. Cystic fibrosis is a progressive genetic disorder that results in persistent lung infection and afflicts 30,000 people in the U.S., with about 1,000 new cases diagnosed every year.
Clean Room Facility Brings 8-Inch Fabrication Capability to Cardiff University
Local business leaders across South Wales attended the launch of the new facility, which offers a range of solutions for companies working to develop 21st century technologies. Guests were able to learn more about the refurbished 225 square metre Clean Room facility and the role it plays in assisting businesses across South Wales as part of CS Connected – the world’s first Compound Semiconductor cluster.
Algae Outbreaks Increased by Nanomaterials
The last 10 years have seen a surge in the use of tiny substances called nanomaterials in agrochemicals like pesticides and fungicides. The idea is to provide more disease protection and better yields for crops, while decreasing the amount of toxins sprayed on agricultural fields.
