| One-atom-thin silicon transistors hold promise for super-fast computing Posted: 03 Feb 2015 01:01 PM PST Researchers have created the first transistors out of silicene, the world's thinnest silicon material. This new 'wonder material' could make computers and other electronics more efficient. |
| Potential for graphene and other 2D crystals in the energy sector Posted: 03 Feb 2015 06:43 AM PST Graphene has many potential applications, among them energy generation, conversion and storage. Graphene – a single layer of carbon atoms – and related two-dimensional crystals combine high electrical conductivity with physical flexibility and a huge surface to weight ratio. Such qualities make them suitable for storing electric charge in batteries and supercapacitors, and as catalysts in solar and fuel-cell electrodes. |
| A third industrial revolution for Norway Posted: 03 Feb 2015 06:41 AM PST Norway's wealth and prosperity over the last four decades has been built on oil, but a futurist and social and economic thinker, says it's time for the country to change. The Third Industrial Revolution is coming, and Norway needs to abandon fossil fuels and move towards a greener future that relies on renewable energy, shared transport and ultra-efficient housing, he says. |
| Singapore's first 3-D-printed concept car Posted: 03 Feb 2015 06:41 AM PST University students have built Singapore's first urban solar electric car with an innovative 3D-printed body shell that has 150 parts. Mounted on a carbon fibre single shell chassis, the NTU Venture (NV) 8 will race in the Urban Concept category at this year's Shell Eco-marathon Asia. |
