<p>The water electrolysis method, a promising avenue for hydrogen production, relies on substantial freshwater consumption, thereby limiting the regions available with water resources required for water electrolysis . Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have developed highly durable electrodes without precious metals to enable direct hydrogen production from seawater.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">A research team from the Institute for Research on Next-generation Semiconductor and Sensing Science (IRES²) at the Toyohashi University of Technology, National Institute of Technology, Ibaraki College, and TechnoPro R&D Company has successfully demonstrated low-invasive neural recording technology for the brain tissue of diabetic mice. This was achieved using a small needle-electrode with a diameter of 4 µm. Recording neuronal activity within the diabetic brain tissue is particularly challenging due to various complicati...
Tokyo Metropolitan University researchers used boron-nitride nanotubes to create a variety of novel single-walled transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) nanotubes with varying compositions, chirality, and diameters.
<p>Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have engineered a range of new single-walled transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) nanotubes with different compositions, chirality, and diameters by templating off boron-nitride nanotubes. They also realized ultra-thin nanotubes grown inside the template, and successfully tailored compositions to create a family of new nanotubes. The ability to synthesize a diverse range of structures offers unique insights into their growth mechanism and novel optical properties.</p>
The demand for the development of direct methanol/formic acid-fuel cell technology has been rising to achieve carbon neutrality.
