May 07, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Doped carbon materials have shown great potential application toward H2O2 electrosynthesis from reduction of O2, and various heteroatoms species attached to carbon edges are suggested to be active evidenced by impressively experimental characterizations and theoretical calculations. However, real contributions of intrinsic carbon edges (heteroatoms-free, unless...

May 07, 2022 (Nanowerk News) With a sophisticated combination of human and artificial intelligence, astronomers uncovered 1701 new asteroid trails in archival data of the Hubble Space Telescope spanning the past 20 years. While about one third could be identified and attributed to known objects, more than 1000 trails probably...

Home > Press > ‘Smart’ diaper for bedside urine testing Peer-Reviewed Publication Abstract:Urine can reveal a lot about a person’s health. But physicians don’t currently have a convenient or fast way of tracking the concentration of important compounds in their patients’ urine. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Applied Nano Materials...

May 07, 2022 (Nanowerk News) A novel theory of cross phenomena could be applied to predict whether a new material would be effective for use in various applications from improved medical ultrasounds to more efficient refrigerators, according to a Penn State researcher.   Cross phenomena are the responses of a system...

May 07, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Traumatic brain injuries might have faded from the headlines since the NFL reached a $765 million settlement for concussion-related brain injuries, but professional football players aren’t the only ones impacted by these injuries. Each year, between 2 million and 3 million Americans suffer from traumatic...

May 07, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Physicists sometimes come up with crazy stories that sound like science fiction. Some turn out to be true, like how the curvature of space and time described by Einstein was eventually borne out by astronomical measurements. Others linger on as mere possibilities or mathematical curiosities....
