Researchers have developed a proof-of-concept for producing drop-in fuels from biomass and electric energy through combined microbial and electrochemical conversion. The process achieved a 50% yield using corn beer as feedstock, with potential to scale up and improve yields.
A team of Italian scientists has created a hybrid device that links biological and electronic systems, leveraging pectin to replicate memristive behavior. The device features a double-layered polyelectrolyte structure that enables it to learn and perform logic/classification functions.
The Electrochemical Society (ECS) has removed the paywall to its digital library during Open Access Week, providing free access to over 132,000 scientific articles. This move is a precursor to ECS's Free the Science initiative, which aims to make the entire digital library open access by 2024.
Researchers found that electron diffusivity plays a crucial role in harnessing thermoelectric power from waste heat. The study sheds light on the fundamental physical process behind this phenomenon.
INRS professor Federico Rosei has received the 2015 Lash Miller Award from the Electrochemical Society Canada Section, bringing the award back to INRS after 44 years. The award recognizes his outstanding contributions to electronic and photonic devices.
Researchers have invented a new way to zip and unzip DNA strands using electrochemistry, enabling fast control at constant temperatures without dramatic changes in solution conditions. This method uses DNA intercalators that bind differently to DNA depending on their electrical state, allowing for rapid and precise control.
A new method amplifies signals in graphene oxide-based electrochemical sensors, enabling applications in medicine, chemistry, and engineering. The findings could lead to rapid and sensitive screening of environmental pollutants.
The University of Cincinnati has developed a highly sensitive sensor combining electrochemistry, spectroscopy, and selective partitioning to detect compounds in low concentrations. The three-mode sensor has been tested in various settings, including nuclear waste storage tanks and superfund sites.
William Yen, a UGA physics professor, has received an international honor for his groundbreaking work on luminescence. He was awarded the ICL Prize for his pioneering advances in understanding optical spectroscopic behavior of solids that emit light or luminescence.
