Researchers from the department of bioengineering at the national university of Singapore’s school of engineering have developed a new technique that can convert infrared light into ultraviolet and visible light using nanoparticles, paving the way for non-invasive treatments for deep tumors, physicists group reported. [...]
Solid-state batteries seem to be getting closer, and the news is endless. Including QuantumScape, in which Volkswagen has held a 5% stake since 2014.
On Dec. 8, publicly traded QuantumScape, a startup backed by Volkswagen and Bill Gates, unveiled the performance of its latest solid-state [...]
With the widespread popularity of electric vehicles, a lot of friends have been asking questions about power batteries. Shock, as an adventurer, can ignore anything else, but he attaches most importance to the reliability of his adventure equipment. I’m here today with a good [...]
Researchers at Tokyo State University have developed a new method for preparing flexible ceramic electrolyte sheets for lithium-metal batteries. They mixed garnet ceramics, polymer binders and ionic liquids to produce a quasi-solid, flake electrolyte. The synthesis is performed at room temperature, requiring much less [...]
At the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), scientists have studied cerium dioxide nanoparticles using probe molecules and a sophisticated ultra-high vacuum infrared measurement system and gained new insights into their surface structure and chemical activity. Their work is reported in three papers in the [...]
The body’s “doctor”
People can now wear health monitoring devices on their body to stay informed about their condition. If we further miniaturize this technology, then the use of nano-technology can be micro-sensor implantation or injection into the human body, capture the patient more detailed [...]
Strontium isotope ratio (87Sr/86Sr) has been widely used in earth science, astrochemistry, environmental chemistry, food origin tracing, archaeology and other fields. Since the 1960s, the Thermoelectric ionization mass spectrometer (TIMS) has been regarded as the benchmark technique for ratio analysis of 87Sr/86Sr with excellent [...]
Recently, professor duhiwen’s team developed a new process for synthesizing monodisperse quantum dots, which is environmentally friendly and efficient. The results were published in Nature Communications, which is the world’s first report on synthesizing monodisperse quantum dots by physical method.
Quantum dots, also known as [...]
Led by Australia’s Macquarie university professor da-yong jin advanced cell instrument laboratory and engineering college of Beijing university department of biomedical engineering XiPeng research joint research, found the new nano photonics light-emitting mechanism, and implements the high concentration of doping on the conversion of [...]
Thermoelectric materials can convert two of the most widely used forms of energy, heat and electricity, into each other:
By converting electric energy into heat energy, solid refrigeration and temperature control can be realized. Thermoelectric materials have been used in small refrigerators, wine cabinets, high [...]
