Imperfect graphene opens door to better fuel cells
The honeycomb structure of pristine graphene is beautiful, but scientists have discovered that if the graphene naturally has a few tiny holes in it, you have a proton-selective membrane that could lead to improved fuel cells.
Researcher discover a high performance cathode material for lithium-sulfur batteries
Scientists have discovered a high performance cathode material with great promise for use in next generation lithium-sulfur batteries that could one day be used to power mobile devices and electric cars.
Nanospheres cooled with light to explore the limits of quantum physics
Scientists have eveloped a new technology which could one day create quantum phenomena in objects far larger than any achieved so far. The team successfully suspended glass particles 400 nanometres across in a vacuum using an electric field, then used lasers to cool them to within a few degrees of absolute zero.
Researchers pattern magnetic graphene
Researchers have found a simple and robust means to magnetize graphene using hydrogen.
New cheap and efficient electrode for splitting water
Scientists have developed a highly efficient oxygen-producing electrode for splitting water that has the potential to be scaled up for industrial production of the clean energy fuel, hydrogen. The new technology is based on an inexpensive, specially coated foam material that lets the bubbles of oxygen escape quickly.
'Smart bandage' detects bed sores before they are visible to doctors
Engineers are developing a new type of bandage that does far more than stanch the bleeding from a paper cut or scraped knee. Thanks to advances in flexible electronics, the researchers have created a new 'smart bandage' that uses electrical currents to detect early tissue damage from pressure ulcers, or bedsores, before they can be seen by human eyes - and while recovery is still possible.
Can carbon nanotubes help to avert our water crisis?
Carbon nanotube membranes have a bright future in addressing the world's growing need to purify water from the sea, researchers say in a new study.
Constructing integrated graphene-based artificial nacre
Graphene oxide, a water-soluble derivative of graphene with many functional groups on the surface, is one of the best candidates for fabricating bioinspired layered materials, because functional surface groups enable interface designs that can improve the interfacial strength in composites.
Cage-opening fullerene provide fluorescent graphene quantum dots
In this work, fullerene C60 is used as starting material, due to its well-defined dimension, to produce very small graphene quantum dots.
API and NINT to keynote 2015 Nanotechnology for Renewable Nanomaterials conference
