Sol-gel Long Lasting Power These long-lasting and significantly safer batteries are novel because of their sol-gel base. A uniform carbon coating process produces high-performance lithium-ion batteries. This method makes use of organic phosphoric acid as carbon and phosphoric sources to produce

FemtoFab™ introduces an automated femtosecond laser-based process for the fabrication of micro and nano-constriction structures on high temperature superconducting (HTS) thin films such as YBa₂Cu₃O₇-ₓ. The technique enables the precise and reproducible formation of superconducting nano- and micro

BioReRAM™ is a novel non-volatile Resistive Random-Access Memory (ReRAM) technology that utilises a bio-based switching/active layer made from milk or a milk-based emulsion. The resistive switching layer, located between two electrodes, contains lactose, fat, protein, and water - components
