It’s super thin, super sensitive and super strong, but does the super-conductive material called graphene have a so-called killer app? Graphene is created by isolating an atom-thick layer of graphite. After years in the labs, materials scientists are now creating prototypes for real-world products. Graphene could prove the miracle behind some of the 21st century’s most i...
The Laboratory for Soft Bioelectronic Interfaces at the Polytechnic Institute of Lausanne (Switzerland) has designed stretchable biphasic conductors that can be drawn out a million times until four times their length without losing their conductive properties. This quality resides in their constituent elastic material, a partly-liquid thin metal film (<1µ thick). Compose...
Motor vehicles are becoming safer, and there are fewer accidents. Part of the reason for that is the increased use of effective safety and assistance systems. These applications often use industrial batteries from Panasonic, which are de-signed for a long life, robust stability and high reliability. A new entertaining video provides information on this field of application.

A researcher at the University of Liverpool has found a cheap alternative to replace an expensive and toxic component in the manufacture of solar panels. Dr. Jon Major has shown that magnesium chloride, found in seawater, can be just as effective as toxic cadmium chloride in the production of solar panels. The cheapest solar technology today is based on solar cells co...
Several firms are developing batteries made using vanadium that are capable of storing large amounts and releasing it back gradually. Renewable energies like solar power are a growing source of power for communities around the world, yet still have their downsides. For example, they often produce most of their energy at the wrong time, in the case of solar energy between...
The surface of any given material has a property called a work function, which is defined as the difference between the energy of an electron at rest and the minimum thermodynamic work required to remove it from the material. The researchers discovered that the vibrational energy produced when two surfaces with different work functions are connected via electrodes can be...

Cat’s eyes have been used as a safety feature on our roads since the middle of the last century, and anyone who has ever driven on an unlit road at night knows their value. However, in terms of design it is very likely original creator Percy Shaw would recognise today’s cat’s eyes, as they have changed so little since the 1930’s. But now Ministers in the UK are set to am...

The Ivanpah Solar Plant in Dry Lake, California stretches over about 3,500 acres of desert, includes about 300,000 sun-tracking mirrors and is set to produce about 377 MW of power. The colossal and beautiful site made its debut on February 13, 2014, but was...
No one will argue with the fact that finding alternative energy sources is one of our century’s main stakes. With the recent catastrophy in Fukushima, it’s also not surprising that Japan has placed a lot of hope on solar energy. Maybe too much since the Shimizu Corporation, a Japanese construction firm, is seriously aiming to power the whole Earth with solar energy harve...
Japan is bravely moving forward and writing a new chapter, regarding energy power production. The plan is to replace nuclear plant with a wind farm, making it the world’s largest. It will be built ten miles off the coast of Fukushima, clearly marking the end of nuclear power in Japan. Talk of strong symbolism. The wind farm will produce 1 gigawatt of power, using just 14...
