Carbon Nanotube Surfaces as Ultrafast Emitters
Carbon nanotube surfaces as ultrafast electron sources could influence the next generation of attosecond science and light-wave electronics research.
World First US–Australia Biofuel Flight
Qantas used biofuel processed from a non-food, industrial type of mustard seed for a historic trans-Pacific 15 hour flight saving 18 000kg in carbon emissions.
Thermal Insulation: As Stealthy as a Polar Bear
Replicating the hollow structure of polar bear hairs allows an insulating material to provide thermal management with stealth applications.
Nitrogen Reduction Reactions: Fact or Artifact
Greener catalytic ammonia synthesis requires robust control experiments to eliminate artifacts.
Optic Imaging to Understand the Healing of Diabetic Wounds
A team of North American researchers demonstrated a label-free and more direct way to observe and quantify microvascular and metabolic healing mechanisms, and the biological response to a topical treatment, utilizing a multimodal microscope equipped with OCT and FLIM.
Carbon Dioxide Desalination
Imagine a scenario where CO2 greenhouse gas emissions could be used to desalinate briny water. This would be a creative way of killing two birds with one stone, namely helping to ameliorate global-warming-induced climate change and producing high quality water for agriculture and drinking purposes.
Smart Windows Use Plasmons to Adapt to Sunlight Alone
Smart windows switch between transparent and opaque states based on environmental cues. Researchers reveal a prototype that exploits plasmons, converting incident sunlight into local thermal energy to trigger the switch.
Powering Electrical Devices with… Power Cables?
Sometimes the answer to a problem is exactly where you would expect it to be.
