Inspired by the hollow skeletal structure of bird bones, which optimizes oxygen storage and respiratory efficiency, researchers from the University of Science and Technology Beijing developed a 3D hollow diamond-enhanced PEG composite PCM. The composite, HDF/PEG, leverages the excellent thermal conductivity of diamond and the advantages of a 3D interconnected structure to create a high-conductivity transport network.
Artificial light, once a luxury, has become central to modern life, with its evolution spanning from fire to LEDs. Now, researchers from the Institute of Physical Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw and Warsaw University of Technology led by Prof. Janusz Lewiński in collaboration with Prof. Andrew E. H. Wheatley from Cambridge University have developed a new class of efficient light-emitting materials as the promising candidates to be applied to lighten the darkness. They demonstrated easily accessible aluminium-based organometallic complexes that have the potential to be applied in optoelectronic devices. Let’s take a look closer at their recent studies.
Research team developed ACbot, an IIoT platform for industrial robots with a multitenancy model and cloud-edge-device architecture, enhancing O&M efficiency and collaboration.
The innovative dual-serrated structure solar cell developed by Huazhong University of Science and Technology reduces reflection losses by 18.34% through a "photon maze" design, potentially boosting conversion efficiency to 31.13% and opening new pathways to unlock efficiency enhancements in tandem perovskite solar cells.
