Christine Tan, PhD, Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering and Life Sciences Engineering at the University of the Commonwealth of Virginia, found a way to change the color of nanofabrics depending on temperature or the presence of a virus. This is due to the rotation of liquid crystals in the fibers. Imagine a cleaning cloth that […]

It is believed that the conversion of heat into electricity is intended only for solid materials such as crystals. However, researchers, similar to infrared (IR) vision of snakes, have developed a mathematical model to convert soft organic structures into so-called “pyroelectric” materials. The study has been published in the journal Matter. The process of converting […]

According to a new study by UBS Bank, by 2024 electric cars will cost the same as ordinary cars with internal combustion engines, which will significantly accelerate the global transition from fossil fuel vehicles to electric cars. The reason is the fall in prices for batteries. This, in turn, will lead to an accelerated decline […]

Perovskites can provide solar cells with significant productivity gains, but it is not easy to maintain their stability and performance. Australian scientists have invented how to get rid of one of the shortcomings of this material. It turns out that it is possible to avoid deformations of Perovskite photocells by exposure to high-intensity light. The […]

Scientists working on a new battery for Tesla have released the latest results of their research. They created a lithium-ion battery that can withstand 15,000 discharging cycles, equivalent to 3.5 million kilometers of electric vehicle mileage. That is, it will last approximately 40 years and will last longer than the electric car itself. These results […]

Human energy needs are insatiable and they continue to grow as the number of new electronic devices increases. What’s more, we’re almost always on the move and therefore constantly depend on the power source to charge our smartphones, tablets and laptops. In the future, sockets (at least for this purpose) may become obsolete. Then it […]

Scientists are conducting research on water-saving alternatives to photosynthesis in a climate that is likely to become hotter and drier in the future. The American Society of Plant Biologists reported on the creation of drought resistant crops with the metabolism of red blood acid, also known as photosynthesis of CAM. An article in The Plant […]

Since the beginning of the year, synthetic biology startups have attracted $3 billion. Scientists promise that in this area of science it is possible to create completely new DNA sequences and new biological systems that have never existed in nature. We will tell you more about the works in question. When did synthetic biology come […]

Nuclear power is preparing to go beyond the Earth. The US Department of Energy and NASA have signed a new memorandum of understanding. It follows from the statement of NASA that by the end of this decade a nuclear reactor should appear on the surface of the Moon. We tell you why you need to […]

In October 2020, it became known about the project PARiS (Porsche Augmented Reality in Service), which is implemented in the company Porsche together with Siemens. The initiative involves the use of augmented reality (AR) for after-sales service cars. The first AR-solution for the workshop Porsche is created on the basis of Siemens Teamcenter, which is […]
