A special structure for storing energy known as a supercapacitor has been constructed in a plant for the first time.
Results for "sensors"
Use Zinc Oxide Flowers to Create Better Photocatalytic Properties
Researchers have studied low-dimensional nanoscale ZnO building blocks, such as 1D nanorods, 1D nanowires and 2D nanosheets. Recently it was found that mixing these materials with 3D hierarchical ZnO microstructures revealed special optical, electrical and catalytic properties.
Creating Touchpads with a Spray
Researchers added low-cost touch sensing to objects of almost any shape.
Self-Learning Chip Composes Music
A brain-inspired, neuromorphic chip has the capability of self-learning and has been demonstrated the ability to compose music.
Transferable Semiconductor Stickers
Scientists at LMU Munich and FSU Jena have developed organic semiconductor nanosheets, which can easily be removed from a growth substrate and placed on other substrates.
