A new self-powered, wristwatch-style health monitor invented by researchers at the University of California, Irvine can keep track of a wearer's pulse and wirelessly communicate with a nearby smartphone or tablet – without needing an external power source or a battery.
Buildings made of porous rock can weather over the years. Now, for the first time, scientists at TU Wien (Vienna) have studied in detail how silicate nanoparticles can help save them.
Data centers -; dedicated spaces for storing, processing and disseminating data -; enable everything from cloud computing to video streaming. In the process, they consume a large amount of energy transferring data back and forth inside the center. With demand for data growing exponentially, there is increasing pressure for data centers to become more energy efficient.
Available exclusively from Goodfellow, NanoRegMed's innovative graphene-based nanocomposite films, Hastalex® and BioHastalex®, are set to solve some of the most important demands in modern medicine, including tissue engineering, skin and nerve regeneration, and cardiac patches.
As our devices get smaller and smaller, the use of molecules as the main components in electronic circuitry is becoming ever more critical. Over the past 10 years, researchers have been trying to use single molecules as conducting wires because of their small scale, distinct electronic characteristics, and high tunability.
A successful capital increase significantly strengthens the innovation management and business development of 2PP 3D-printing specialist UpNano GmbH (Vienna, Austria).
RUDN professor suggested the way to create porous silicon nanostructures strictly on a given region.
Humanity's dependence on batteries for cellular phones, laptops, electric vehicles, and grid storage is fueling a demand for better battery technology.
In a paper published in the ACS Applied Energy Materials journal, researchers produced novel Au/K4-xHxNb6O17 nanocomposites by a single-step preparation in an aqueous medium surrounded by Au poly(ethyleneimine) (Au-PEI). The Au-PEI nanoparticles were immobilized by exploiting the intercalation chemistry of K4-xHxNb6O17 nanosheets. The nanocomposites prepared were successfully applied in photoinduced H2 evolution.
Wearable technology has exploded in recent years. Spurred by advances in flexible sensors, transistors, energy storage, and harvesting devices, wearables encompass miniaturized electronic devices worn directly on the human skin for sensing a range of biophysical and biochemical signals or, as with smart watches, for providing convenient human-machine interfaces.
