A way to destroy “forever chemicals” that have contaminated the drinking water of millions

Could nanoscopic materials that improve energy storage help save the world?

The challenge of building an energy future that preserves and improves the planet is a massive undertaking. But it all hinges on the charged particles moving through invisibly small materials. Scientists and politicians have recognized the need for an urgent and sizable shift in the world’s mechanisms of energy production and consumption in order to

If you need more energy storage just print it with MXene ink

Researchers from Drexel University and Trinity College in Ireland, have created ink for an inkjet printer from a highly conductive type of two-dimensional material called MXene. Recent findings, published in Nature Communications, suggest that the ink can be used to print flexible energy storage components, such as supercapacitors, in any size or shape. Conductive inks have

Lithium-sulfur battery evolution

In late July of 2008 a British solar plane set an unofficial flight-endurance record by remaining aloft for more than three days straight. Lithium-sulfur batteries emerged as one of the great technological advances that enabled the flight —powering the plane overnight with efficiency unmatched by the top batteries of the day. Ten years later, the

MXene-based antenna spray paint could enable the next generation of wearable technology

The promise of wearables, functional fabrics, the Internet of Things, and their “next-generation” technological cohort seems tantalizingly within reach. But researchers in the field will tell you a prime reason for their delayed “arrival” is the problem of seamlessly integrating connection technology — namely, antennas — with shape-shifting and flexible “things.” But a breakthrough by

Alzheimer’s disease symptoms reversed in fruit flies

Researchers from Drexel University reversed symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease in fruit flies by restoring the balance between two epigenetic enzymes that regulate gene expression, a study shows. Early in the progression of Alzheimer’s disease, cognitive impairment (such as difficulties with learning and memory) may be tied to the presence of elevated levels of the HDAC2 enzyme. HDAC2

A solvent-free carbon nanofiber supercapacitor

A group of Drexel University researchers have created a fabric-like material electrode that could help make energy storage devices — batteries and supercapacitors — faster and less susceptible to leaks or disastrous meltdowns. Their design for a new supercapacitor, which looks something like a furry sponge infused with gelatin, offers a unique alternative to the

Phase-change materials can help roads clear themselves in winter

Drexel University researchers have made a discovery that could create roads that melt off ice and snow during winter storms. Their secret? — Adding a little paraffin wax to the road’s concrete mix. In a paper recently published in journal “Cement and Concrete Composites” researchers, led by Yaghoob Farnam, PhD, an assistant professor in Drexel’s College of Engineering, explain how

New battery electrode design allows for charging in seconds or minutes – not hours

Can you imagine fully charging your cell phone in just a few seconds? Researchers in Drexel University’s College of Engineering can, and they took a big step toward making it a reality with their recent work unveiling of a new battery electrode design in the journal Nature Energy. The team, led by Yury Gogotsi, PhD,Distinguished University and

New Optical Material that Offers Unprecedented Control of Light and Thermal Radiation

A team led by Nanfang Yu, assistant professor of applied physics at Columbia Engineering, has discovered a new phase-transition optical material and demonstrated novel devices that dynamically control light over a much broader wavelength range and with larger modulation amplitude than what has currently been possible. The team, including researchers from Purdue, Harvard, Drexel, and Brookhaven

Making a Solar Energy Conversion Breakthrough Above the Theoretical Maximum

Designers of solar cells may soon be setting their sights higher, as a discovery by a team of researchers has revealed a class of materials that could be better at converting sunlight into energy than those currently being used in solar arrays. Their research shows how a material can be used to extract power from

Bacteria-Powered Microrobots Plot a Course Using Electric Fields

The problem with having a microscopic robot propelled by a horde of tail-flailing bacteria is you never know where it’s going to end up. The tiny, bio-robots, which amount to a chip coated with a “carpet” of flagellated bacteria, emerged from the primordial ooze of microrobotics research a few years ago as a concept for
