3D printing approaches atomic dimensions
A new electrochemical technique makes the production of complex metallic objects at the nanoscale possible
22-Nov-2021
In recent years 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, has established itself as a promising new manufacturing process for a wide variety of components. Dr Dmitry Momotenko, a chemist at the University of Oldenburg, has now succeeded in fabricating ultrasmall metal objects using a new ...
A new generation of particle accelerators aims at taking cancer therapy, drug detection and material analysis to a higher level
Additively manufactured copper components for linear accelerators
04-Nov-2021
World first: Fraunhofer IWS for the very first time prints quadrupole components for linear accelerator.These linear accelerators are so compact that they are becoming affordable even for smaller hospitals, airports and laboratories. To support this development, the Fraunhofer Institute for ...
The importance of good neighbors in catalysis
Are you affected by your neighbours? So are nanoparticles in catalysts
04-Nov-2020
New research from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, published in the journals Science Advances and Nature Communications, reveals how the nearest neighbours determine how well nanoparticles work in a catalyst. "The long-term goal of the research is to be able to identify ...
Effective pathway to convert CO2 into ethylene discovered
Promising way to to transform ethylene production into a greener industry
24-Sep-2020
A research team from Caltech and the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering has demonstrated a promising way to efficiently convert carbon dioxide into ethylene -- an important chemical used to produce plastics, solvents, cosmetics and other important products globally. The scientists developed ...
Copper ion unlocks magnesium's potential in next-generation battery
New magnesium battery demonstrates dramatic improvement of performance
14-May-2020
Researchers at the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have come a step closer to making a viable, high-output battery based on magnesium (Mg), an element the United States Geological Survey reports is far more abundant than ...
Lighting material of the future
Green luminescent substance is a hot candidate for producing OLEDs
07-May-2020
At the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI, researchers have gained insights into a promising material for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). The substance enables high light yields and would be inexpensive to produce on a large scale - that means it is practically made for use in large-area room ...
Honey, I shrunk Michelangelo's David
Researchers in Zurich have reproduced Michelangelo’s David as a miniature in metal
02-Jan-2020
There he is, standing upon his pedestal: David by Michelangelo. A world-famous statue that nearly every child can recognise. But this David is just 1 millimeter tall, pedestal included, and is made not of marble like the 5.17-meter original, but of pure copper. It was created using 3D printing ...
Scientists devise catalyst that uses light to turn carbon dioxide to fuel
09-Dec-2019
Researchers find new way to convert carbon dioxide into a usable fuel source. The concentration of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere is steadily increasing, and many scientists believe that it is causing impacts in our environment. Recently, scientists have sought ways to recapture some of the ...
Secret messages hidden in light-sensitive polymers
06-Sep-2019
DNA is a long chemical sequence that carries genetic information. Inspired by this biological system, in recent years many research teams have been exploring how to store and then decode information within synthetic macromolecules, also called polymers. In a leap forward in this field, ...
Researchers have discovered how a nanocatalyst works at the atomic level
31-May-2019
The researchers of the Nanoscience Center (NSC) at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, and in the Xiamen University, China, have discovered how copper particles at the nanometre scale operate in modifying a carbon-oxygen bond when ketone molecules turn into alcohol molecules. Modification of ...
