Delft researchers predict 'nanobattery' performance
Researchers at Delft University of Technology can predict how nanostructuring - the extreme reduction of structure - will affect the performance of Li-ion batteries. view more (2007-04-03)
Feeling up Cells
Locally resolved detection of cell signals with microelectrodes No matter how small, a living cell does not have a uniform structure. Instead, it has „organs“, called organelles, which are assigned various tasks. Even the „shell“ of the cell, its membrane, is not uniform. Functional building blocks, such as ion channels,... view more... (2001-03-01)
Sweet fuel supply
A new type of fuel cell powered with glucose derived from biomass is described in the latest issue of the Inderscience Publication International Journal of Global Energy Issues. view more (2007-11-28)
Procedure To Help Parkinson's Disease Could Shed Light On Psychiatric Disorder
French authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET describe how electrode stimulation of a specific part of the brain to alleviate symptoms of Parkinson's disease could also help in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorders. The psychiatric condition obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is thought to be associated with... view more... (2002-10-24)
Combating corrosion could aid industrial safety
A new technique to detect localised corrosion in steel and other metals could help industry avoid major repair bills. In some cases, it could even help prevent serious safety problems in industrial plants and other building structures. This technique differs from traditional methods as it is able to detect corrosion on a much smaller level. This... view more... (2003-09-02)
Porphyrin electron-transfer reactions observed at the molecular level
Researchers at Temple University have observed and documented electron transfer reactions on an electrode surface at the single molecule level for the first time, a discovery which could have future relevance to areas such as molecular electronics, electrochemistry, biology, catalysis, information storage, and solar energy conversion. view more (2007-08-03)
One step closer to an artificial nerve cell
Scientists at the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet and Linköping University are well on the way to creating the first artificial nerve cell that can communicate specifically with nerve cells in the body using neurotransmitters. view more (2009-07-08)
New technology will allow for flexible television and computer screens
Organic light emitting diodes (OLED) are the technology used in making light emitting fabrics used in cell phones and televisions. view more (2006-05-12)
New Materials offer Solution to Energy Storage
A scientist from the University of St. Andrews will describe the results of more than fifteen years of research, to be published in the journal 'Nature' on 2 August, which could change the way we power battery driven devices in the future. Rechargeable lithium batteries have been a major technological success in recent years. They are critical to... view more... (2001-07-31)
Foggy road
What happens if fog comes on roads? First of all, visibility falls down, so the risk for a car accident increases, especially on highways. Scientists from Central Aerological Observatory have constructed a special electrostatic filter, which eliminates the fog at a distance up to 10 meters. The filter looks like a metal frame with a precipitation... view more... (2002-10-18)
Active carbon supercondenser
CIDETEC has just completed the project, subsidised by the Basque Government and CEGASA, "The development of a active carbon supercondenser for high-tension applications", aimed at developing home-grown technology which would allow the construction of an active carbon-based, double-layer prototype. Supercondensers (SC's) are made up of... view more... (2003-03-03)
Towards zero training for brain-computer interfacing
While invasive electrode recordings in humans show long-term promise, non-invasive techniques can also provide effective brain-computer interfacing (BCI) and localization of motor activity in the brain for paralyzed patients with significantly reduced risks and costs as well as novel applications for healthy users. view more (2008-08-13)
Special coating greatly improves solar cell performance
The energy from sunlight falling on only 9 percent of California's Mojave Desert could power all of the United States' electricity needs if the energy could be efficiently harvested, according to some estimates. view more (2008-02-25)
Batteries get a boost at Rice
Need to store electricity more efficiently? Put it behind bars. That's essentially the finding of a team of Rice University researchers who have created hybrid carbon nanotube metal oxide arrays as electrode material that may improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries. view more (2009-02-10)
ANALYTICA 2004: Trapping Smallest Bioparticles
The Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH (IMM) and the Norwegian NorChip AS have jointly developed a chip-based µ-concentrator. Suited for application in biomedical diagnostics, the dielectrophoresis (DEP) chip permits selective separation and concentration of polarisable bioparticles such as viruses and bacteria from a complex substance... view more...

Wastewater produces electricity and desalinates water
A process that cleans wastewater and generates electricity can also remove 90 percent of salt from brackish water or seawater, according to an international team of researchers from China and the U.S. view more (2009-08-07)
Microbial Fuel Cells: Optimization Of The Anode Compartment For Improved Electron Transfer
A microbial fuel cell mimics a biological system, in which bacteria do not directly transfer the energy-rich electrons gained out of the feeding to their characteristic electron acceptor. Instead, the electrons are diverted towards an electrode (anode) and subsequently conducted over a resistance or power user, and a cathode (see figure). At the... view more... (2003-11-14)
Baby Beetles Inspire Pitt Researchers to Build 'Mini Boat' Powered by Surface Tension
Inspired by the aquatic wriggling of beetle larvae, a University of Pittsburgh research team has designed a propulsion system that strips away paddles, sails, and motors and harnesses the energy within the water's surface. view more (2009-01-22)
New hybrid microscope probes nano-electronics
A new form of scanning microscopy that simultaneously reveals physical and electronic profiles of metal nanostructures has been demonstrated at JILA, a joint institute of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and University of Colorado at Boulder. view more (2006-10-30)
Research paves way for new composite materials
Northwestern University researchers have developed a process that promises to lead to the creation of a new class of composite materials - "graphene-based materials." view more (2006-07-20)
