Consumer electronics company Xiaomi Communications Co. appears to be the latest manufacturer to enter the electric mobility race. The Beijing-based company plans to create Xiaomi-branded electric vehicles. The company will use a Chinese manufacturing plant owned by Great Wall Motors. In its current state, Xiaomi is an electronics company based on an Internet of Things …

Are we finally going through the looking glass? If measured only by new breweries, maybe it does. Like everything else, however, the mini brewery renaissance among us did not come without pain. At the beginning of Annus horribilis 2020, a slew of new breweries were due to go live – in Riverhead, Bellport, Lindenhurst – …

Marie Curie Action Individual Fellowships are funded by the European Commission and are very competitive. This year, five researchers from around the world received money to come to Aalto to study in groups at the School of Science and the School of Chemical Engineering. Details of their projects are listed below. ENBIOMECH Dr Sandra Kaabel …

Scientists began to evaluate the potential of graphene in polymers soon after the complete characterization of graphene. A first research objective focused on how to increase the electrical conductivity of graphene; this was soon followed by investigations into its mechanical properties. There were then descriptions of the improved flame retardancy and thermal conductivity of graphene …

Finnish and Israeli scientists have found a way to move the hinges at the nanoscale. This marks the next step in the development of what is called molecular machines. This will ultimately make it possible to develop new therapeutic approaches, for example in medicine. Until now, it was not possible to control this type of …

Catalysts are essential for many technologies. To further improve heterogeneous catalysts, it is necessary to analyze the complex processes at their surfaces, where the active sites are. Scientists at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), as well as colleagues from Spain and Argentina, have now achieved breakthroughs: as reported in Physical Review Letters, they use …

This technology, which allows to sort, purify and concentrate in real time nanoparticles invisible …

An international team of researchers led by Hao Chen of Tsinghua University has developed a unique chemical boundary engineering (CBE) approach to dramatically improve the physical properties of steel. In an open access article in Scientists progress, the team reports that when applied to simple steels with a carbon content of up to 0.2% by …

Electrospinning is an emerging manufacturing technology that holds great promise for advancing skin tissue engineering and developing a range of new therapies. Electrospinning is an emerging manufacturing technology that has gained a lot of attention in recent years in fields ranging from medicine and tissue engineering to energy and environmental sciences due to the ease …

Different configurations of MOSFETs. Credit: IMR FinFETs are known to be an evolution of metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) comprising a semiconductor channel wrapped vertically by conformal gate electrodes. It was first proposed in the 1990s in order to avoid the short channel effect and other drawbacks resulting from the reduction in the size of …

Global Graphene Group Inc. (G3) was the first company to discover and patent graphene in 2002 BZ Jang, et al, “Nano-scaled Graphene Plates,” US Nos. Appl. No. 10/274,473 (10/21/2002); now US Pat. N ° 7 071 258 (04/07/2006), two years before Nobel laureates Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov published their findings on mechanical exfoliation of …

The alloys chosen for study in this project and the heat treatment regimes used will be determined, in part, using computer models developed at WPI.
