Carbon Nanotubes help to recyle waste heat by converting into Light.
The Rice University scientists are designing arrays of aligned single-wall carbon nanotubes to channel mid-infrared radiation (i-e heat) and greatly raise the efficiency of solar energy systems. Their invention is a hyperbolic…
Water solutions without a grain of salt
An estimated 844 million people don’t have access to clean water, while every minute a newborn dies from infection caused by lack of safe water and an unclean environment. Seawater desalination and…
New Superomniphobic Glass Soars High on Butterfly Wings Using Machine Learning
Pitt Engineers Develop New Superclear, Supertransparent, Stain-Resistant, Anti-Fogging Nanostructured Glass Based on Butterfly Wing Glass for technologies like displays, tablets, laptops, smartphones, and solar cells need to pass light through, but could…
Scientists develop “Black Gold” which can act as Artificial Trees to fight Climate Change
A “black” gold material has been developed to harvest sunlight, and then use the energy to turn carbon dioxide (CO2) into useful chemicals and fuel. In addition to this, this material can…
