On-off temperature sensing with graphene oxide
22-05-2013
Researchers in Korea have developed a new temperature sensing platform based on graphene oxide (GO). The sensor uses GO’s functionality as an efficient Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) acceptor to deliver a fast optical on-off signal in response to temperature change. Research ...
Flow electrodes may enable large-scale sea water desalination
10-04-2013
Across the world, millions of people cannot access fresh, clean water. With global populations rising and freshwater supplies regularly becoming overdrawn or contaminated, the ability to purify sea water is becoming increasingly important. Now, scientists from South Korea have modified a ...
High-performance, NW-OPTs open the way for optoelectronic device miniaturization
14-03-2013
Research team of Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), Ulsan, South Korea, developed high-performance organic phototransistors (OPTs) based on single-crystalline n-channel organic nanowires. Phototransistors are a kind of transistors in which the incident light intensity ...
WACKER opens new dispersions plant in South Korea
07-02-2013
Wacker Chemie AG officially launched its new production plant for vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer (VAE) dispersions at its Ulsan site in South Korea. The additional 40,000 metric tons from the second reactor line increases the site’s VAE-dispersion capacity to a total of 90,000 tons per ...
Improving zinc oxide nanorods’ performance in piezoelectric nanogenerators
09-01-2013
Scientists in the Republic of Korea have treated zinc oxide nanorods in piezoelectric nanogenerators (which use mechanical vibrations, such as body movement and air flow, to power electronic devices) to a thermal annealing process to improve their output voltage (output was 25 times higher ...
Highly efficient production of advanced biofuel by metabolically engineered microorganism
Combining systems metabolic engineering and downstream process, production of butanol could be dramatically increased
25-10-2012
Fuels including gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel are derived from fossil oil thorough the petroleum refinery processes. Increased concerns over environmental problems and limited fossil resources drive scientists and researchers to turn their attention to developing fossil-free, bio-based ...
Titania photocatalyst produces hydrogen and generates photocurrents under visible light
09-10-2012
Combining a cheap polymer resin with titania produces a photocatalyst that can produce hydrogen and generate photocurrents under visible light, say scientists in the Republic of Korea. Titania is commonly used as a base material for solar energy conversion. But it has a wide band gap so ...
