| Nano Filter cleans dirty industry Posted: 23 Dec 2014 08:38 AM PST Prototypes of nano-cellulose based filters with high purification capacity towards environmentally hazardous contaminants from industrial effluents have been developed by researchers. The research has reached a breakthrough with the prototypes and will now be tested on a few industries in Europe. |
| Graphene 'cut and paste' with microwaves Posted: 22 Dec 2014 02:04 PM PST Researchers have demonstrated a variety of transformations taking place on carbon surface under the influence of metal nanoparticles and microwaves. |
| Ultrasounds dance the 'moonwalk' in new metamaterial Posted: 22 Dec 2014 08:17 AM PST Metamaterials have extraordinary properties when it comes to diverting and controlling waves, especially sound and light: for instance, they can make an object invisible, or increase the resolving power of a lens. Now, researchers have developed the first three-dimensional metamaterials by combining physico-chemical formulation and microfluidics technology. This is a new generation of soft metamaterials that are easier to shape. |
| Intelligent façades generating electricity, heat and algae biomass Posted: 22 Dec 2014 05:43 AM PST Windows that change their light permeability at the touch of a button, façades whose color can be changed according to the sunlight, façades and window parts in which transparent photovoltaic modules are integrated or in which microalgae are being bred to provide the house with its own biofuel: This is what the buildings of the future could feature, or at least something similar, experts say. |
