ETH researchers have realised a long-held dream: inspired by an industrial assembly line, they have developed a nanoscale production line for the assembly of biological molecules. Cars, plan... Read more
Rice University scientists have created a one-step process for producing highly efficient materials that let the maximum amount of sunlight reach a solar cell. The Rice lab of chemist Andrew... Read more
Working on dye-sensitized solar cells – researchers from University Malaya (UM) and National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) have achieved an efficiency of 1.12 %, at a fraction of the cos... Read more
In a recent advance in solar energy, researchers have discovered a way to tap the sun not only as a source of power, but also to directly produce the solar energy materials that make this po... Read more
The world’s first magnetic cellulose membrane loudspeakers Throughout the ages, Sweden has relied on its vast forests as a source of sustenance and economic growth. Now add the world’s first... Read more
Scientists report the first self-healing thermoset elastomer that requires no intervention to induce its repair. Self-healing polymers mend themselves by reforming broken cross-linking bonds... Read more
Scientists have created a powerful micro-supercapacitor, just nanometres thick, that could help electronics companies develop mobile phones and cameras that are smaller, lighter and thinner... Read more
Device could coat windows, smartphone screens with energy-harvesting material Nearly doubling the efficiency of a breakthrough photovoltaic cell they created last year, UCLA researchers have... Read more
Microsoft’s speech recognizer can correctly identify 86 to 88 percent of the words in arbitrary speech, Rashid said. Ever wondered what you’d sound like if you were fluent in Chi... Read more
