Life today depends heavily on electricity. However, the unrelenting demand for electricity calls for increasingly greener and “portable” sources of energy. Although windmills and solar panels are promising alternatives, the fluctuation in output levels depending on external factors renders them as unreliable. Thus, from the viewpoint of resource allocation and economics, high-energy density secondary batteries…
Novel Method for Improving Imaging Techniques in Geophysical and Material Studies
One of the remarkable aspects of science is its ability to extend our sense of perception beyond touch and sight, often using the information provided by the “scattering” of waves. A group of researchers from the Department of Civil Engineering, led by Prof Terumi Touhei, at Tokyo University of Science, working on the “inverse scattering”…
