A new method to make the manufacture of nanosensors far less carbon-intensive, budget-friendly, highly efficient, and versatile has been developed by engineers from Macquarie University, thereby considerably enhancing a main process in this trillion-dollar global industry.

Liquid metals (LM) have unique physicochemical properties, making them suitable for varied applications in different domains. Researchers from Japan h....

Researchers develop a novel cancer theranostic agent that can covert light energy to heat and in turn destroy cancer cells

In research that could lead to a new age in illumination, researchers from Japan and Germany have developed an eco-friendly light-emitting electrochemical cells using new molecules called dendrimers combined with biomass derived electrolytes and grap

An injectable biomaterial activated by pulses of low-energy blue light could enable on-the-spot repair to corneas, claims a team from University of Ottawa and their research partners.

Delve into the history of this bioplastic's creation, its potential uses, and the obstacles that still need to be overcome.

Climate-neutral hydrogen will be a crucial fuel and raw resource in the future. Water is electrolyzed to produce hydrogen, either indirectly (using a solar panel or wind turbine to provide voltage to the electrolysis cell) or directly (using a photoelectrochemical cell, or PEC cell), where the photoelectrode itself provides the electrical energy for electrolysis.

A new type of new bioplastic can degrade as quickly as a banana peel in a backyard compost bin, researchers report.

Plastics are being used in almost all aspects of our lives. Such materials are affordable to make and extremely stable.

In a study that could result in a new era in illumination, scientists from Japan and Germany have built eco-friendly light-emitting electrochemical cells with the use of new molecules known as dendrimers integrated with biomass-derived electrolytes and graphene-based electrodes.
