(2013-12-05)Current synthetic alternatives to autologous grafts have often failed in small diameter applications (<6 mm) due to their thrombogenicity and compliance mismatch of native vasculature. No known synthetic material is capable ...
-
Flexible, transparent electrodes (FTEs) can be used in many applications, such as wearable electronics, flexible touch screens, and semitransparent solar cells. Researchers have successfully created stretchable, bendable, ...
-
(2017-07-20)Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are a promising technology in energy conversion. However, the high cost of the platinum catalyst limits the use of fuel cells. To address this problem, many improvements and ...
-
(2020-03-25)The advent of offshore renewable energy, e.g. wind, wave, and tidal, holds the promise of significant environmental and economic benefits. Once built, the energy produced by offshore renewable energy farms is transmitted ...

(2022-04-12)Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells and PEM reverse fuel cell dehumidifiers (or PEM electrolytic dehumidifiers) are zero emission, high efficiency electrochemical energy devices. However, the high cost associated ...
-
(2016-07-27)Hybrid-capacitors have the potential to synergistically combine the benefits of both electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) (longer cycle life) and pseudo-capacitors (higher capacitance). However, new processes ...
-
(2018-04-26)Hydrogels are hydrophilic polymer networks that exhibit high biocompatibility due to their high water content. In applications such as musculoskeletal repair, their main limiting factor is their relatively low ...
-
(2017-02-16)Carbon nanofibers, though radially more homogeneous compared to carbon fibers, currently do not possess mechanical properties as high as carbon fibers. By principles of size effect, carbon nanofibers are expected to possess ...
-
(2022-07-26)The discovery and development of antibiotics in the early 20th century led to a significant reduction in mortality from infectious diseases. However, the age of antibiotics has coincided with the accelerated emergence of ...
-
(2012-10-19)Biological/biochemistry analyses traditionally require bulky instruments and a great amount of volume of biological/chemical agents, and many procedures have to be performed in certain locations such as medical centers or ...
-
(2020-01-09)Polymer fibers have a multitude of fabrication techniques that can be employed to get similar results. Electrospinning is a particularly effective technique that generally produces fiber thinner than other existing techniques, ...
