As the race heats up to charm Riverton’s Chinese voters, Labor’s advertising in a pro-Beijing newspaper linked to China’s United Front has raised eyebrows.
New piezoelectric material remains effective to high temperatures Schematic of a piezoelectric energy harvester that transforms mechanical vibrations to electrical energy. Newswise — UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Piezoelectric materials hold great promise as sensors and as energy harvesters but are normally much less effective at high temperatures, limiting their use in environments such as engines or space exploration. However, a new piezoelectric device developed by a team of researchers from Penn State and QorTek remains highly effective at elevated temperatures. Clive Randall, director of Pe...
How Lunar New Year will be celebrated across Australia in 2021 FriFriday 5 The Year of Ox Lunar New Year celebrations have been scaled back in many cities. ( Share Print text only Cancel Lunar New Year is usually celebrated with vibrant festivals around the country, featuring Asian food stalls, lion dancing, and cultural performances. It's a special time comparable to Christmas on the Asian calendar, with more than a million Australians, mostly from the Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese communities, coming together to celebrate their cultures and traditions. However, the upcoming holiday from F...

The improved understanding of the chemistry behind this process, detailed in a new study led by Penn State chemists, could allow researchers to adapt this and similar compounds for use in hum...
