Crystal structure of the copper capsule

The nuclear magnetic resonance apparatus - developed by the University's Department of Physics and Astronomy - will allow for further developments and new applications for nanotechnology which is increasingly used in harvesting solar energy, computing, communication developments and also in the medical field.

The image shows calibrated radiances produced by RAL Space for the shortwave (SW) channel which measures reflected sunlight and its total channel sensitive to all outgoing energy from thermal emissions by the earth and reflected sunlight. These observations allow reflected shortwave and emitted long-wave fluxes to be calculated that are then used by scientists for studying climate.

Their proposed approach offers a better control over the type and quality of the resulting products as the involved laser processing is handled in a more facile manner.

Regarding the shortfall in the forest resources, cylindrical trees in particular, this wood composite product can serve as a replacement for plywood and is predicted to have various applications in interior designs of the buildings, household appliances, packaging boxes, ceilings and roofs, gym flooring, etc.

The two polymer layers are stapled from the inside using nano crystals made of zink oxide. Conceptional drawing.

Using a mixture of gold, copper and platinum nanoparticles, IBN researchers have developed a more powerful and longer lasting fuel cell material. This breakthrough was published recently in leading journal, Energy and Environmental Science.
