See-through Organic Solar Cells using Buckyballs
University of Michigan researchers have found a way to coax electrons to travel much further than was previously thought possible in the materials often used for organic solar cells and other organic…
3-D printing improves cell adhesion and strength of PDMS polymer
Combining two different polymer forms can switch manufacturing of silicone parts from molding, casting and spin coating of simple forms to 3-D printing of complex geometries with better mechanical characteristics and better…
Water-based Air Conditioner cools without harmful Chemicals
A team of researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has pioneered a new water-based air-conditioning system that cools air to as low as 18 degrees Celsius without the use of…
Turning heat into electricity using “topological” materials
With advancements in thermoelectric technology, in future, you could run your air conditioner using sun’s heat instead of conventional electricity. Thermoelectric devices are made from materials that can convert a temperature difference…
