Researchers have demonstrated a new technique that uses lasers to create ceramics that can withstand ultra-high temperatures, with applications ranging from nuclear power technologies to spacecraft ...

As fast as modern electronics have become, they could be much faster if their operations were based on light, rather than ...

7b05029. Comparison of electrical/electrochemical properties of various carbon-based fiber electrodes/fiber supercapacitors; comparison of electrical conductivity of GFs prepared by different ...

A Korean research team has developed a light-powered artificial muscle that operates freely underwater, paving the way for next-generation soft robotics.

Thus, it is estimated that the distance (collector/capillary) of 2.0 cm featuring a shorter time for fiber formation and solvent evaporation provided a less crystalline fiber than those produced at ...

Light is all around us, essential for one of our primary senses (sight) as well as life on Earth itself. It underpins many technologies that affect our daily lives, including energy harvesting with ...

The novel CNT-PANI composite fibers offer superior electrochemical performance, addressing energy storage challenges with ...

Abstract: A temperature sensor based on photonic crystal fiber (PCF) surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is proposed in this paper. We use the dual function of the PCF filled with different concentrations ...

Abstract: A Sagnac interferometer temperature sensor based on liquid crystal filled side hole fiber (SHF) is designed and studied. Liquid crystal's refractive index is sensitive to temperature changes ...
