Scientists have produced a new design for a beyond-lithium-ion battery cell that operates by running on air (hence, referred to as “lithium-air”) over many charge and discharge cycles
These lenses are ideal for calibrated imaging applications such as measurement and gauging, 3D stereo vision, robotics and sensing, autonomous vehicles, and object tracking.
Findings are expected to lead to the development of novel functionalization methods for various biopolymer gels and elucidation of mechanical properties of biopolymer gels in living cells such as cytoskeletal gels
The research lays the foundations for futuristic soft active matter with highly distributed and tightly integrated sensing, actuation, computation, and control
In a research collaboration with Sydney Water, the team has demonstrated the success of the approach in laboratory tests on filtered water from the Nepean Water Filtration Plant in western Sydney
The discovery promises to improve the understanding of useful yet unusual physical and chemical behaviors that arise in materials and structures at the nanoscale
E-waste from refrigerators, televisions, computers, monitors, mobile phones, and video game consoles is an ever-increasing burden to landfills and the recycling industry
The material—which is 20 times whiter than paper—is made from non-toxic cellulose and achieves such bright whiteness by mimicking the structure of the ultra-thin scales of certain types of beetle
