Study contributes to the production of flexible electronic devices
Publicado em 10 julho 2019
Flexible electronics is one of the most important trends in technology today. The market is growing so fast that it is expected to double in value in the next decade.
Extremely light and even bendable optoelectronic equipment that supplies, detects and controls light will become commonplace in the near future. A great deal of research is progressing in this direction, as exemplified by a paper recently published in Scientific Reports.
The paper describes an experimental and theoretical study [...]

Lipid vesicles transmit luminous or electrical signals
Publicado em 27 março 2019Liposomes are small spherical vesicles with walls comprising two layers of lipids and containing an aqueous core. These artificial structures have been developed for drug delivery or as carriers of active substances in cosmetic products. Another possible application involves the encapsulation of magnetic nanoparticles in liposomes to use them to transmit signals. This possibility is discussed in an article published by a group of Brazilian researchers supported by São Paulo Research [...]ver notícia -
Hybrid material may outperform graphene in several applications
Publicado em 28 fevereiro 2019Materials that are hybrid constructions (combining organic and inorganic precursors) and quasi-two-dimensional (with malleable and highly compactable molecular structures) are on the rise in several technological applications, such as the fabrication of ever-smaller optoelectronic devices. An article published in the journalPhysical Review Bdescribes a study in this field resulting from the doctoral research of Diana Meneses Gustin and Luís Cabral, both supervised by Victor Lopez Richard, a [...]ver notícia -
Carbon gas storage cavern is the best way to obtain clean energy from a fossil fuel
Publicado em 13 fevereiro 2019A set of technologies that is expected to have its first results four years from now is designed to resolve one of the world’s greatest oil and gas exploration challenges today: carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) emission in the atmosphere. The innovation, the result of a patent deposited in 2018, consists of injecting the CO2 and CH4 that comes from wells during oil extraction into salt caverns as a way to reduce the amount of carbon gas in the emissions. The first “pilot cavern” [...]ver notícia
