Science X Newsletter Thu, Feb 29

Dear manoj dole, Here is your customized Science X Newsletter for February 29, 2024: Technology news Scientists use food industry byproduct to recover gold from electronic waste Transforming base materials into gold was one of the elusive goals of the alchemists of yore. Now Professor Raffaele Mezzenga from the Department of Health Sciences and Technology at ETH Zurich has accomplished something in that vein. He has not of course transformed another chemical element into gold, as the alchemists sought to do. But he has managed to recover gold from electronic waste using a byproduct of the cheesemaking process. Research team develops insect-mimicking sensor to detect motion The recent development of an intelligent sensor that mimics the optic nerve of insects while operating at ultra-high speeds and low power offers extensive expandability into various inn...

Dear manoj dole, Here is your customized Science X Newsletter for February 28, 2024: Technology news Reducing halide segregation in wide-bandgap mixed-halide perovskite solar cells using redox mediators Multi-junction solar cells, solar cells comprised of many individual semiconductor junctions stacked together, have the potential of outperforming single-junction solar cells both in terms of efficiency and stability. In recent years, material scientists and engineers have been trying to identify viable material combinations for fabricating these solar cells. Scientists propose anti-fatigue preparation for 3D-printed titanium alloy A research team led by Profs. Zhang Zhefeng and Zhang Zhenjun from the Institute of Metal Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has proposed an innovative strategy to fabricate an anti-fatigue 3D-printed titanium alloy by ...
