Researchers Develop Artificial Water-Repellent Materials with Switchable Wetting Surface

The lotus leaf has a unique feature that prevents the leaf from getting wet when rain falls on it. The water just rolls off without actually wetting the surface of the leaf. This novel characteristic has made room for the possibility of developing artificial materials that are water-repellent just like the lotus leaf.

The Current State of the Global Semiconductor Market

The global semiconductor market has entered an exciting period. Demand for chip technology is both driving the industry as well as hindering it, with current chip shortages predicted to last for some time. Current trends will likely shape the future of the industry, which is set to continue to show

How are Graphene Batteries Made?

The primary distinction between graphene-based batteries and solid-state batteries lies in the composition of either electrode. Although the cathode is commonly changed, carbon allotropes can also be employed in fabricating anodes.

What Role Will The IoT Play In The Electric Vehicle Industry?

In recent years, the IoT is rapidly being introduced into almost all sectors, but it has particular importance in the EV industry.
