Chemists have proposed a new approach to obtaining a solid electrolyte for solid state lithium-ion battery on the basis of halogenosilanes thiophosphate lithium structure of the mineral argyrodite. With it, they received the material from the record among the materials Read more
A tungsten needle was successfully removed visible in an electron microscope pollution molecular scale with the surface of the graphene sheet. Thus physics has reached the maximum possible surface cleaning kind of nanofabric, however, having studied the processes of contamination Read more
Chinese doctrine synthesized record solid thin films based on graphene. Mixing graphene with layered black phosphorus (fostream) and an organic substance, a molecule which contains two flat aromatic fragment, the authors were able to obtain films with record energy value Read more
The materials scientists have made a paper from the pollen of sunflower, which due to its structure may curl depending on the humidity of the environment. With this effect they made an artificial flower, which is able to open up Read more
Chinese scientists have made efficient and reliable air filter for nanosized particles. It consists of a sponge impregnated with the composition and the ionic liquid through which current is passed. The invention, in addition to the ability to filter particles Read more
Scientists have created a white light source based on laser using aerogel. Laser lamps are better than others, but now they use a phosphor which is short-lived and reduces efficiency. The new design will allow you to create a reliable, Read more
Engineers from Germany and Ukraine created a universal friction pad that creates high friction when in contact with different surfaces, including smooth and rough. It consists of a polymer membrane and ground coffee. In the normal state coffee behaves as Read more
American and Singaporean engineers have proposed to use a thermoelectric panel to create wearable active thermal camouflage, adapts its temperature below the temperature of surrounding objects. In order that the user does not experience discomfort from wearing such a device Read more
Canadian engineers have created a thin two-layer nylon cloth, able to glow with electricity. It consists of two layers nalona polyurethane fabric coated with a layer of gold acting as a pair of electrodes and located between them an elastic Read more
Chinese scientists have proposed a simple and universal design for grasping objects: a piece of polymer with shape memory. It must be heated to soften and press the desired item, then be allowed to cool until solidification, move to the Read more
