Self-moving robots function without any power source
This video from CBS New York showcases a self-moving Nitinol robot that could one day be used inside a human body.
Into another dimension: Nanoscale trilayer exhibits ultrafast charge transfer in semiconductor materials
Advancements in optoelectronic semiconductor technology are heavily reliant on the controlled movement of charges and excitons—pairs of electrons and holes—towards specific directions to generate fuel or electricity. Mirroring the mechanism of photosynthesis, where pigments capture solar energy and funnel it to a reaction center for conversion and utilization, photons in this process create electron-hole pairs. […]
Single-crystal cathodes for faster-charging, longer-lasting EVs
A team at Pohang University of Science and Technology has unveiled a groundbreaking single-crystal synthesis technique. This innovation significantly boosts the resilience of cathode materials, a key component in electric vehicle batteries. Professor Kyu-Young Park from the Graduate Institute of Ferrous & Eco Materials Technology and the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, along with PhD […]
