Australian startup Hysata, which says it has developed the world’s most efficient electrolyzer, has raised A$42.5 million ($29.4 million) in an oversubscribed Series A funding round. The money will be used to develop the company’s team and “develop a pilot manufacturing facility” for the innovative “capillary” technology, which it says will be able to deliver “the world’s lowest-cost green hydrogen” due to its superior efficiency. . In simple terms, the biggest element of the levelised cost of green hydrogen (LCOH) is the cost of renewable electricity used, so that less power is required for the electrolyzer to produce every kilogram of H 2 the lower the LCOH. Hysata says the capillary-fed electrolyzer (CFE) only requires 41.5 kWh of electricity per kg of hydrogen. The industry benchmark for highly efficient electrolyzers is 50kWh/kg. “Hysata’s electrolyzers operate at 95% system efficiency (41.5 kWh/kg), delivering a huge leap in performance and cost over older technologies, which

Abu Dhabi, UAE, July 26, 2022: A team of researchers from NYU Abu Dhabi’s Advanced Microfluidics and Microdevices Laboratory (AMMLab) has developed a new type of three-dimensional Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) probe they call 3DTIP. AFM technology enables scientists to observe, measure, and manipulate samples and micro and nanoscale entities with unprecedented precision. The new 3DTIP, manufactured using a one-step 3D printing process, can be used for a wider range of applications – as well as potential observations and discoveries – than the more limited standard silicon-based probes that are considered state-of-the-art. art in our time. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a technique for characterizing samples by scanning a physical probe across a surface, yielding an impressive resolution 1,000 times higher than what optical microscopy can achieve. AFM is a fundamental instrument in many disciplines including biomedical sciences, with applications ranging from characterizing living

Fluoroquinolone antibiotic residues are environmental contaminants. As these chemicals are not easily biodegradable, the development of rapid and cost-effective methods for their detection is a growing concern in the forensic industry. In a study published in Chemical analysis , Researchers have designed a microfluidic photoelectrochemical aptasensor (PEC) using photoactive AgBr/CuBi 2 HI 4 (ACO) composites for rapid and ultrasensitive detection of environmental contaminants .

Image Credit: Sonis Photography/Shutterstock.com Fluoroquinolone antibiotics, such as ofloxacin (OFL) and ciprofloxacin (CIP), pollute the environment by suppressing the activity and growth of microorganisms. This study explores a novel approach to detect ofloxacin and ciprofloxacin by controlling the r

Researchers at the Suzhou Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Technology (SIBET) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences recently proposed a structured DNA assembly strategy and developed an electrochemical/fluorescent dual-mode biosensor for circulating tumor DNA based on methylene blue. and red emission carbon nanodots. The new sensors, combining the characteristics of electrochemical and fluorescent sensors, whose signal sources and construction methods are usually very different, according to the researchers. Electrochemical sensor is a qualitative or quantitative method based on the correlation between targets caused by changes in electrical signals and concentrations or other physical parameters. Fluorescence sensor is a qualitative or quantitative detection method by transmitting a specific combination of target elements and introduction to the fluorescence element, causing a change in the fluorescence intensity or emission wavelength. “Integrating two technologies for synchrono

American researchers have developed a light sailing craft designed to fly over Mars and collect data. Non-motorized aircraft are built to use natural winds pattern around Mars to operate for days. The aircraft is equipped with flight, temperature and gas sensors, as well as cameras. It is designed to collect data about the atmosphere and physical structure of the Red Planet. A working model of the sailplane was developed by engineers at the University of Arizona. The team is partnered on the project with Alexandre Kling, a research scientist with the American space agency NASA. Kling said in a statement the sailing craft could be a valuable resource in helping NASA study important areas above the Martian surface. “You have this very important and critical piece at the planetary boundary layer like in the first few kilometers above the ground,” he said. “This is where all the exchange between the surface and the atmosphere takes place.” Kling works at NASA’s Mars Climate Modeling Cen

Washington [US]July 9 (ANI): A group of Singaporean scientists have developed a biofunctional thermogel, a type of synthetic polymer, to prevent retinal scarring caused by failed retinal detachment repair surgery, according to a new study. The research findings were published in the journal Nature. Read Also | Sri Lankan Prime Minister Announces Resignation, Amid Economic Crisis Read @ANI’s Story… – Latest Tweet by ANI Digital. Research reveals that proliferative vitreoretinopathy occurs when retinal scar tissue prevents the retina from healing and falling back into place. And it’s said that it accounts for more than 75 percent of failed retinal detachment surgeries, and can result in vision loss or blindness if left untreated. Current treatment options for PVR are limited to surgical removal of this scar membrane with preserved visual recovery. This work highlights the potential use of synthetic polymers alone to modulate cellular behavior and, for the first time, offers a novel th

The virtual creature swung its four arms like tentacles, propelling itself forward. It crept up the hill then rushed to the other side. It looks like “octopuses walk on land,” says Agrim Gupta. This strange creature developed a body of its own. It also learned its own method of moving. This mix of evolution and learning could help engineers build new types of robots, Gupta said. A PhD student studying computer vision at Stanford University in California, Gupta is like a grandfather to this octopus-like creature and hundreds of other odd-looking virtual creatures. He created the ancestors that gave rise to these creatures. He called them unimals, meaning “universal beasts.” The term reflects the fact that they can evolve into so many different body forms. Some resemble real animals. Others are quite strange. The team found that the animal’s body type affects its ability to learn new things. We tend to think of learning as something that happens in the brain. But, Gupta note

For a soft material to be considered for use as an artificial muscle, it must be capable of generating mechanical energy and still be able to withstand high strain conditions—meaning that it does not easily
