Nov 12, 2024 (Nanowerk News) Bioprinting is a technology used to create three-dimensional structures, such as human tissues or organs, using bio-inks made of cells and hydrogels. However, conventional inkjet technology has difficulty dispensing bio-inks that are sensitive to temperature due to the heat generated during operation. Furthermore, conventional 3D...
Two hundred times better nanocatalysts thanks to carbon
Nov 11, 2024 (Nanowerk News) Precious metals play an important role in the chemical industry as catalysts: With the help of silver, platinum, palladium or other elements, chemical reactions can take place that would otherwise not progress or would only progress at a much lower reaction rate. These metals are...
Smart tennis system uses self-powered racket and elbow pad to improve player technique
Nov 11, 2024 (Nanowerk Spotlight) A tennis racket that knows exactly where the ball hits and an elbow pad that tracks every detail of arm movement – these innovations are now helping players improve their game without expensive coaching or complex equipment. Scientists have created these devices using special yarns...
Physicists create ‘light hurricanes’ that could transport huge amounts of data
Nov 11, 2024 (Nanowerk News) Much of modern life depends on the coding of information onto means of delivering it. A common method is to encode data in laser light and send it through optic cables. The increasing demand for more information capacity demands that we constantly find better ways...
Carbon recycling instead of plastic trash
Nov 11, 2024 (Nanowerk News) Plastics are inescapable in our daily lives. The vast amounts of plastic garbage heaped in landfills and in the environment, however, are as problematic as the plastics are useful. In the journal Angewandte Chemie ("Anodic Commodity Polymer Recycling: The Merger of Iron-Electrocatalysis with Scalable Hydrogen...
