Silver Price Volatility Could Affect Conductive Ink Composition, Says IDTechEx News provided by Share this article Share this article BOSTON, Feb. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The remarkable price increases in particular US stocks, most notably GameStop, made the news last week as the power of retail investors to move markets became clear. On Monday 1 st Feb, the BBC reported that silver prices increased by around 10% as retail investors turned their attention to commodities, reaching a 5-month high of almost $950/kg. While silver has many uses, such as mirrors and jewelry, conductive ink is a si...

New technology makes it possible: Engineers created thread sensors that can be attached to skin to measure movement in real time, with potential implications for tracking health and performance Scanning electron microscopy of carbon ink-coated threads. Straight thread on left. Bending the coated threads creates strain (right), which changes their electrical conductivity - a quantity that can used to calculate the degree of deformation (scale bar 200 microns) CREDIT Yiwen Jiang, Tufts Unive...

A Second Chance for Organic Photovoltaics, IDTechEx Investigates News provided by Share this article Share this article BOSTON, Jan. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Printing solar panels like newsprint using organic semiconductors is the longstanding aspiration, given the obvious benefits of renewable energy and the potential for low-cost, large-area, energy-efficient production. However, despite attempts by Konarka and others, commercializing organic photovoltaic (OPV) panels has previously proved challenging. This was largely due to the falling prices of silicon panels, the comparatively low effic...

Nanotechnology Now Home > Press > Engineers find antioxidants improve nanoscale visualization of polymers Adding antioxidants can push the resolution limit of polymer electron microscopy to reveal a structure smaller in scale (blue) compared to the structure previously observed (pink) in this false-color image. CREDIT Brooke Kuei, Penn State Abstract: Reactive molecules, such as free radicals, can be produced in the body after exposure to certain environments or substances and go on to cause cell damage. Antioxidants can minimize this damage by interacting with the radicals before they affect...
