Dec 14, 2024 (Nanowerk News) Electroluminescence is the phenomenon behind how LEDs work. It involves adding charge carriers, either electrons or holes, to a semiconductor. This changes the semiconductor’s properties, including how it conducts or insulates against the movement of electrical charges. In an LED, the charge carriers cause the...

In quantum technology applications such as quantum computing, light plays a central role in encoding and transmitting information. NTU researchers have...

Home > Press > Innovative biomimetic superhydrophobic coating combines repair and buffering properties for superior anti-erosion Inspired by the structure of human enamel, a biomimetic coating with enhanced viscoelasticity was constructed layer by layer. The underlying amylose hydrogel serves as both a buffering layer and a self-repairing filler. Using multiple...

Dec 14, 2024 (Nanowerk News) Batteries have become an integral component of modern technology. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) can be found virtually everywhere, from handheld electronic devices and electric vehicles to the large power banks used in renewable energy generation systems. However, current LIB designs suffer from some crippling drawbacks, including...

Dec 14, 2024 (Nanowerk News) Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have made tungsten disulfide nanotubes which point in the same direction when formed, for the first time. They used a sapphire surface under carefully controlled conditions to form arrayed tungsten disulfide nanotubes, each consisting of rolled nanosheets, using chemical vapor...
