The additive manufacturing industry is full of interesting developments. One of the more recent ones comes from Rutgers engineers who claim to have invented a “4D printing” method for a smart gel. This gel could lead to the development of “living” structures in human organs and tissues, soft robots and targeted drug delivery. The 4D […]
Researchers take a step closer to using graphene in electronics
Graphene is a carbon consisting of one layer of carbon atoms. It is said to be an excellent conductor and thus offers potential in the electronics industry. Plus, it is said to be one of the strongest materials ever tested. And, it’s nearly transparent. But, according to those who have worked with this material, once…
Catalyst from Rutgers U. promises more efficient H2 generation, better fuel cells
Editor’s note: This article is based on the findings of a patent-pending HER (hydrogen evolution reaction) catalyst Ni5P4 as reported in the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Energy & Environmental Science. If successful, the catalyst could provide a way to inexpensively generate and store excess wind power, as hydrogen. The catalyst’s operating stability and efficiency will
