From 0 to 100 in 1.513 seconds
Formula Student car broke a world record accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 1.513 seconds over a distance of less than 30 m.
ZSW Sets New World Record for Thin-film Solar Cells
The Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) has nudged up the performance bar for thin-film solar cells yet another notch.
CO2 Conundrum
In his latest opinion piece, Professor Ozin asks: what is the chemical industry doing to mitigate CO2 pollution?
Anisotropic Conductive Films by Shear-Flow
Anisotropic conductive films can be produced by shear flow that induces the self-assembly of conductive fillers (like carbon nanotubes, graphene or inexpensive carbon black) into parallel stripes in a polymer matrix.
Innovative casting system for series production
Using a new die casting technology Power Cast and Frech reduced cycle times, saved material and improved quality.
Capturing Circulating Cancer Cells
Nanogels were developed as magnetic capturing devices for circulating tumor cells and applied in the magnetic separation of human cancer cells from a mixed cell suspension.
Researchers Propose New Route for Programmable Infrared Optics
UC Santa Barbara researchers Prasad Iyer and Prof. Jon Schuller propose a new route, novel electrically reconfigurable metasurfaces, as an important step towards on-chip programmable optics.
