Research team develops new material system to convert and generate terahertz waves

A way to generate electricity from nylon using gentle body movement

Looks like transparent electronic devices could be based on nylon

Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (MPI-P) led by Dr. Kamal Asadi have solved a four decade long challenge of producing very thin nylon films that can be used for instance in electronic memory components. The thin nylon films are several 100 times thinner than human hair and could thus be attractive for

Nanoelectronics breakthrough: A nanotransistor made of graphene

Transistors based on carbon nanostructures: what sounds like a futuristic dream could be reality in just a few years’ time. An international research team working with Empa has now succeeded in producing nanotransistors from graphene ribbons that are only a few atoms wide, as reported in the current issue of “Nature Communications”. Graphene ribbons that

Rust protection from nanocapsules

A particularly ingenious remedy for the problem of rust may be available soon. Containers made of a conductive polymer only open in the presence of corrosion and release anticorrosive payloads. Scientists from the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung GmbH in Düsseldorf and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz have succeeded in making two enormous

Mainz scientists create new flexible mineral inspired by deep-sea sponges

Valuable insights from the imitation of the skeleton of natural sea sponges Scientists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (MPI-P) in Germany have created a new synthetic hybrid material with a mineral content of almost 90 percent, yet extremely flexible. They imitated the structural elements found in

Graphene: A material that multiplies the power of light

ICFO scientists show that graphene is highly efficient in converting light to electricity Bottles, packaging, furniture, car parts… all made of plastic. Today we find it difficult to imagine our lives without this key material that revolutionized technology over the last century. There is wide-spread optimism in the scientific community that graphene will provide similar
