The potential sources of energy that can be harvested for free—or close to it—almost defy imagination. While some, such as wind, fluid flow, and solar, are somewhat obvious, others are not. Consider ...

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is spread by respiratory aerosols, in which tiny droplets of saliva and mucus containing the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are expelled ...

Taking advantages of intramolecular motion of D-A based aggregation-induced emission (AIE) molecular rotors and one-dimensional (1D) polymer fibers, highly sensitive optical fiber sensors that respond ...

You may have heard of dehumidifiers, which are machines that help reduce the humidity in your home, but what is relative humidity? And why does it matter for you? There are some confusing terms that ...

There’s a huge variety of ways that we can potentially generate all the power we need for tiny medical sensors or other devices with minimal power needs. But there’s often a big gap between those ...

The additive introduced into the solution for preparing the photoactive layer enhances Marangoni flow, thereby offsetting capillary flow caused by changes in the substrate’s surface energy due to ...

Panel paintings are essentially wooden boards painted on one side. Due to the vapor resistance of the paint layer, changing ambient conditions lead to exchange of moisture on only one surface.

A low-power, compact, RH and temperature sensor eases the challenges associated with accurately, reliably, and consistently measuring these important environmental parameters. Features of the new TI ...
