To make electric vehicles more practical and attractive to consumers, lithium-ion batteries need some improvements. Mainly, they need to hold much more energy per weight to allow vehicles to go longer ...

The Firefly Aerospace Blue Ghost moon lander has begun its work on the moon using its drill, vacuum and electrodes. Blue ...

It’s an unusual aesthetic, but it works: Spray-on tattoos that dot the head can collect brain activity without the consternation caused by typical tests. The electronic tattoos, described December 2 ...

Current electrochemical theory does not adequately describe realistic platinum electrodes. Scientists at Leiden University have now, for the first time, mapped the influence of imperfect platinum ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Detecting specific chemicals in complex mixtures remains a persistent scientific challenge. When multiple compounds exist together – as in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, or ...

Researchers have created heart monitoring sensors that conform to the skin, are comfortable, and can be worn while people are ...

Microneedle electrodes can penetrate beneath the skin, allowing for more accurate bioelectrical signal acquisition (such as EEG, ECG, and EMG) from outside the body. Research into their materials has ...

Scientists from Leiden University and the Department of Energy's SLAC National Laboratory have uncovered the mysterious cause behind the rapid corrosion of platinum electrodes. This study paves the ...

Austrian scientists have developed wafer-thin tattoo electrodes that can record brain activity. These "tattoos" are dry electrodes, and unlike typical ones, they don't require a gel medium to function ...
