The power of going small: Copper oxide sub-nanoparticle catalysts prove most superior

Scientists have shown that copper oxide particles on the sub-nanoscale are more powerful catalysts than those on the nanoscale. These subnanoparticles can also catalyze the oxidation reactions of aromatic hydrocarbons far more effectively than catalysts currently used in industry.

Engineers mix and match materials to make new stretchy electronics

Next-generation devices made with new 'peel and stack' method may include electronic chips worn on the skin.

Portable lab you plug into your phone can diagnose illnesses like coronavirus

Engineers have created a tiny portable lab that plugs into your phone, connecting it automatically to a doctor's office through a custom app.

Scientists learn more about the first hours of a lithium-ion battery's life

New technology enables nanoscale molecular view of self-assembling gateway structure within.

Scientists offer an inkjet printing technology to make compact, flexible battery elements

Researchers propose printing electrodes for lithium-ion batteries on an inkjet printer, which will reduce the electrodes' thickness by 10-20 times. This opens new perspectives for manufacturing compact electronics and transformer devices.

With nanogenerators, static electricity as strong as lightening can be saved in a battery

Research presented a new technology that can increase the amount of power generated by a triboelectric nanogenerator. They developed a high-efficiency integrated circuit to obtain reliable and practical electrical energy from the triboelectric nanogenerator.

Graphene mapping 50 times faster

Researchers added a smart algorithm to the detection, resulting in Raman working at least fifty times faster and making it more 'gentle' to sensitive materials.
