Scientists Develop ‘Exceptional’ Surface To Explore Exotic Physics
Experimental solution provides first observation of previously theoretical light absorption
‘Seeing’ Non-Uniformities In 2D Materials May Lead To New Medical Sensors
A novel and better approach at detecting non-uniformities in the optical properties of two-dimensional materials could potentially open the door to new uses for these materials, such as the application of 2D materials for drug detection.
Penn State Awarded $3.4 Million Contract To Target Plastic Waste
Penn State has been awarded a $3.4 million contract from the REMADE Institute, a public-private partnership established by the United States Department of Energy, to fund research targeting the inefficient methods currently used to process and upcycle mixed plastic waste.
Form Fit: Device Wraps Around Hot Surfaces, Turns Wasted Heat To Electricity
A new flexible thermoelectric generator can wrap around pipes and other hot surfaces and convert wasted heat into electricity more efficiently than previously possible.
