NYU Abu Dhabi researchers have demonstrated how organic crystals can serve as energy converters for emerging technologies.

3R epoxy resins, more sustainable composites CIDETEC’s patented epoxy vitrimer resins provide cure cycles and properties comparable to conventional aerospace epoxies but also allow a range of behaviors more akin to thermoplastics: reprocessing via thermoforming (left), joining via welding, repair of delaminations using heat and pressure (center) and recycling by solvolysis (right) as well as by remolding ground up scraps. Photo credit for all images: CIDETEC For most aerospace composite structures, thermoset epoxy has been the preferred matrix resin due to its high mechanical properties,...

UAE researchers decode why fireflies light up Wam/Dubai Photo: Wam Study provides the most comprehensive critical overview of the bioluminescence of beetles, including fireflies. A team of researchers from the New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) has conducted an “exhaustive review” of the scientific literature surrounding the natural production of light called bioluminescence. The team’s work will help others in the field uncover the mysteries behind this natural phenomenon. The study done by the NYUAD’s Smart Materials Lab (SML) was led by Professor of Chemistry Pane Naumov. In the...

Abu Dhabi: A team of researchers from the New York University Abu Dhabi’s (NYUAD) is studying the natural production of light, called bioluminescence, with the aim of helping others in the field direct their research about this fascinating phenomenon. The new study, ‘The Elusive Relationship Between Structure and Colour Emission in Beetle Luciferases’, has been led by Dr Pance Naumov, professor of Chemistry at the university’s Smart Materials Lab. It provides the most comprehensive critical overview to date of the field of bioluminescence in beetles, including fireflies, and has alrea...
