Credit: Osaka University Osaka, Japan - Researchers at Osaka University synthesized twisted molecular wires just one molecule thick that can conduct electricity with less resistance compared with previous devices. This work may lead to carbon-based electronic devices that require fewer toxic materials or harsh processing methods. Organic conductors, which are carbon-based materials that can conduct electricity, are an exciting new technology. Compared with conventional silicon electronics, org...

Ventilator initiative praised at Kudos Science Excellence Awards One finalist that shone, placing within the Engineering Science category, was RespiratorNZ and its ventilator initiative. Built by residential neighbours, RespiratorNZ was launched after hearing the country could possibly go into Lockdown, coupled with restricted borders and the potential of overflowing hospital wards lacking necessary equipment like respirators. With only 58 respirators in New Zealand and no way to bring in more...

Credit: Takashi Matsubara A research group led by Associate Professor YAGUCHI Takaharu (Graduate School of System Informatics) and Associate Professor MATSUBARA Takashi (Graduate School of Engineering Science, Osaka University) have succeeded in developing technology to simulate phenomena for which the detailed mechanism or formula are unexplained. They did this by using artificial intelligence (AI) to create a model, which is faithful to the laws of physics, from observational data. It is hop...
