Hydrogen-powered fuel cells and solar energy are the best hope for a more environmentally friendly and resource-sparing energy supply in the future. A combination of the two is considered to be particularly “clean”: the production of hydrogen by splitting water with sunlight.
Scientists at SINTEF/NTNU and the University of Oslo have been awarded NOK 25 million by the Research Council of Norway for investments in equipment for surface analysis.
"This will be one of the biggest and mos...
At today's International Solid State Circuit Conference (ISSCC), Holst Centre, imec and TNO present a dual-gate-based organic RFID chip with record data rate and lowest reported operating voltage. For the first time,...
“How much energy you can put into a particle per meter corresponds directly to how big the machine is,” says Steven Sibener, the Carl William Eisendrath Professor in Chemistry and the James Franck Institute at UChicago. This means that future accelerators must either grow to inconceivable sizes, at great costs, or they must somehow pump far more energy into each particle per meter of acceleration than modern technology will allow.
Scientists develop new composite material that could revolutionise car design and manufacturing.
Researchers in Chicago and London have developed a method for controlling the properties of magnets that could be used to improve the storage capacity of next-generation computer hard drives.
In 2010, BASF again intends to maintain its research budget at the previous years’ high level, with an overall target of €1.38 billion. This was confirmed by Dr. Andreas Kreimeyer, Member of the Board of Executive Directors and Research Executive Director, at the company’s Research Press Conference today, January 28, 2010, in Ludwigshafen.
MIT researchers have demonstrated the first laser built from germanium that can produce wavelengths of light useful for optical communication. It’s also the first germanium laser to operate at room temperature.
A new method for manipulating the molecules of liquid crystals in ways previously unachieved could result in more effective industrial sealants, improved food packaging and even enhanced electronic displays, says Zhengdong Cheng, a Texas A+M University assistant professor of chemical engineering.
DuPont opened the Meyrin Photovoltaic (PV) Application Laboratory at the European Technical Center in Meyrin, Switzerland, this week to meet the needs of the fast-growing solar energy market. This lab expands capabilities at the leading European R&D hub for DuPont teams developing next-generation products.
