Mar 21, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Whether it's photovoltaics or fusion, sooner or later, human civilization must turn to renewable energies. This is deemed inevitable considering the ever-growing energy demands of humanity and the finite nature of fossil fuels. As such, much research has been pursued in order to develop alternative...

Mar 21, 2022 (Nanowerk News) A team of scientists led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has developed a method to effectively produce and extract plant-based oils from a type of common microalgae. As the oils produced from the microalgae are edible and have superior properties as those found...

CREDIT ©Science China Press Abstract:Currently, chemotherapy is still the main clinical treatment strategy for cancer. Although it has produced significant effects,...

Mar 19, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Aalto University doctoral candidate Dennis Yeung and his research group have developed and tested a new type of technology that enables better compatibility between a prosthesis and the amputated area. The study (IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, "Co-adaptive control of bionic limbs via unsupervised adaptation...

Home > Press > Better understanding superconductors with Higgs spectroscopy Prof. Stefan Kaiser from TU Dresden awarded ERC Consolidator GrantAbstract:Superconductivity is a macroscopic quantum state characterized by the disappearance of electrical resistance in materials at extremely low temperatures. Electrical currents can therefore flow through it without a constant drive being...

Mar 19, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Astronomers have been surprised by the closest source of mysterious flashes in the sky called fast radio bursts. Precision measurements with radio telescopes reveal that the bursts are made among old stars, and in a way that no one was expecting. The source of the...

Mar 19, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Scientists from the NTU Singapore and the Korea Institute of Machinery & Materials (KIMM) have developed a technique to create a highly uniform and scalable semiconductor wafer, paving the way to higher chip yield and more cost-efficient semiconductors.
