High Efficiency Solar Water Heating Achieved with Nanoparticles

Success May Promote Solar Heat Utilization Based on Plasmon Resonance of Ceramic Materials A research team in Japan discovered through numerical calculations that nanoparticles of transition metal nitrides and carbides absorb sunlight very efficiently, and confirmed experimentally that nitride nanoparticles, when dispersed in water, quickly raise water temperature. A research team of Satoshi Ishii, MANA

A repulsive material

In a world-first achievement, scientists from the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science in Japan, along with colleagues from the National Institute of Material Science and the University of Tokyo, have developed a new hydrogel whose properties are dominated by electrostatic repulsion, rather than attractive interactions. According to Yasuhiro Ishida, head of the Emergent Bioinspired

3D graphene structures for use in super-capacitors, through a method inspired by blown sugar, created.

This illuminates an amazing future for quick start-up of electric vehicles and launching of aircrafts. Graphene sheets are immensely strong, lightweight and excellent at conducting electricity. Theoretically, macroscopical three-dimensional graphene assemblies should retain the properties of nanoscale graphene flakes. However, recent attempts to make 3D graphene have resulted in weak conductivity due to poor contact
