Cost-effective, bio-compatible nanogenerator can harvest electricity from vibrations

New Delhi, June 28, 2021: Scientists have fabricated a simple, cost-effective, bio-compatible, transparent nanogenerator that can generate electricity from vibrations all around for use in optoelectronics, self-powered devices, and other biomedical applications. Searching for renewable energy resources with reduced carbon emissions is one of the most urgent challenges due to the increasing threat of global […]

Coating carbon on lithium metal oxide electrode, can double battery life

New Delhi, June 23, 2021: Researchers have developed a non-expensive way to coat carbon on lithium metal oxide electrodes for lithium-ion batteries. The life of the lithium-ion cells prepared using these electrode materials is expected to be doubled due to protective carbon coating. Lithium-ion batteries are the most commonly used power source for electric vehicles. However, […]

Space-time induces neutrino oscillations

New Delhi, June 22, 2021: Scientists have shown that the geometry of space-time can cause neutrinos to oscillate. Neutrinos are mysterious particles, produced copiously in nuclear reactions in the Sun, stars, and elsewhere. They also “oscillate”– meaning that different types of neutrinos change into one another – as has been found in many experiments. Probing […]
