Developing better nanopore technology

At the simplest of levels, nanopores are (nanometre-sized) holes in an insulating membrane. The hole allows ions to pass through the membrane when a voltage is applied, resulting in a measurable current. When a molecule passes ...

New class of substances for redox reactions

Redox reactions play an important role in our everyday life. In these reactions, one compound releases electrons and is oxidized, while another accepts electrons and is reduced. Such redox reactions are exploited by living ...

Researchers demonstrate control of living cells with electronics

E. coli bacteria and an electronic device might seem to have little in common, but in a recent experiment, University of Maryland researchers linked them into the first closed-loop system able to communicate across the technological–biological ...

Capacity of new electrode material improved in new study

According to a recent study published in Advanced Science, scientists have successfully improved the specific capacity of Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP), a new electrode material. They also found its relatively exotic extrinsic pseudocapacitance ...
