Back in April, we talked about the the potential of a 'combo' of a supercapacitor and a battery design by the folks over at UCLA's California NanoSystems Institute. Well, this time around, MIT researchers have followed it up with their version of a nanowire-based supercapacitor that is tailored to portable energy. In essence, this can…
Previously, we had talked about how scientists have been able to mimic natural leaves with the artificial end product having the capacity of photosynthesis. Well, this time around, a collaborative effort from the researchers at US Department of Energy (DOE)’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California (UC) Berkeley has resulted…
A few days ago, we had harped about the potentially high solar efficiency of perovskite nanowires. Well, this time around, researchers at Sandia National Labs have dabbled with the procedure of controlling nanowire sizes and uniformity - and these regulated crystal states could be used in various thermoelectric applications. Now from the physical perspective, the very…
If you do take interest in the burgeoning field of solar-based technological applications, chances are that you are not unfamiliar with perovskite - the touted 'wonder material' with effective light-absorbing properties. But this time around, scientists at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland, have seriously notched it up a level by developing…
