Researchers harvest electricity from wood soaking in water
"The great advantage of this technology is that the wood can readily be used for other purposes once it’s depleted as an energy source"
13-Dec-2022
Water and wood may one day be all that’s needed to provide electrical power for a household. At a time when energy is a critical issue for many millions of people worldwide, scientists in Sweden have managed to generate electricity with the help of these two renewable resources. The method ...
Smarter sensor sniffs out target gases
A chemical sensor endowed with artificial intelligence can learn to detect certain gases in the air with high sensitivity and selectivity
16-Nov-2022
The device, developed at KAUST, uses machine learning to differentiate the gases according to the way they induce slight temperature changes in the sensor as they interact with it. Smart electronic sensors that can detect specific airborne molecules are in great demand for use in applications ...
Audi and Krajete Filter CO₂ Out of the Air
Filter more CO₂ in less time thanks to the new direct air capturing method
02-Nov-2022
AUDI AG and the Linz-based green tech company Krajete GmbH are jointly developing new technologies for filtering emissions from ambient air. In addition to robust adsorber materials, these so-called direct air capturing technologies (DAC) are based, above all, on innovative processes. They make ...
Effective metal extraction with electron-stimulated microorganisms by bioleaching
14-Jul-2022
As part of the project "BioIntElekt" (Development of an innovative small-scale, low-energy electron beam source integrated in a bioreactor system, funding reference: 601015) funded by the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft in an internal program, metals should be mobilized with the help of bacteria. At the ...
How glass learns to illuminate itself and create heat
Among other things, this can be used to produce electrically conductive and self-heating glass microreactors for the chemical and pharmaceutical industries
31-Mar-2022
Glass objects which glow in the dark, glass containers that heat up and cool down, or glass control knobs and switches that eliminate viruses and bacteria by themselves – all this seems to completely contradict our everyday experience of what glass can do. And yet, it is now within reach. To ...
World's first toxicology testing strategy without animal testing adopted by OECD
Success for long-standing collaboration between BASF and Givaudan to develop and validate alternative methods
30-Jun-2021
The world’s first toxicology testing strategy without animal testing has been approved by the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development). The testing strategy consists of three so-called alternative methods. They can be used to predict whether a substance causes allergic ...
Evonik and InnovationLab bring new battery technology to the market
Printed solid-state batteries impress with their long cycle life
23-Mar-2021
Evonik presents at the virtual exhibition LOPEC a new material technology for printable batteries. Together with the company InnovationLab, the specialty chemicals group proves the integration of TAeTTOOz® technology in printed electronics to open up new applications. TAeTTOOz® was develop based ...
A sharper look at the interior of semiconductors
A research team is developing a high-resolution imaging technique that can be used to determine internal structures in materials and their chemical composition in a non-destructive manner and with nanometre precision
19-Feb-2021
Images provide information – what we can observe with our own eyes enables us to understand. Constantly expanding the field of perception into dimensions that are initially hidden from the naked eye, drives science forward. Today, increasingly powerful microscopes let us see into the cells and ...
High-tech start-ups benefit from Twitter hype
Study shows correlation between Twitter sentiment and the valuation of start-ups by venture capitalists
18-Feb-2021
The short message service Twitter has played a prominent role in US politics in recent weeks and months and attracted a lot of attention. Even in business, Twitter users' tweets are being closely followed and used as a basis for decision-making. A new study shows that venture capitalists can also ...
Platelets instead of spheres make screens more economical
23-Jan-2020
ETH scientists have further developed QLED technology for screens. They have produced light sources that for the first time emit high-intensity light in only one direction. This reduces scattering losses, which makes the technology extremely energy efficient. QLED screens have been on the market ...
