Smart material which responds to light stimulus can harness solar energy for applications in soft robotics
New Delhi, June 01, 2022: Scientists have developed a smart material which responds to light stimulus easily by converting light into thermal energy. This can be helpful for harnessing solar energy for applications in soft robotics and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) devices. Many smart materials have successfully replicated stimuli-responsive behavior seen in abundance in nature like in […]
Artificial photosynthesis to provide solutions for carbon capture and conversion
New Delhi, March 25, 2021: Scientists have found a method to mimic nature’s own process of reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, namely photosynthesis, to capture excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This artificial photosynthesis (AP) harnesses solar energy and converts the captured carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide (CO), which can be used as a […]
