This LHP (loop heat pipe) is unprecedented in transporting such a large amount of heat without electricity.

In a groundbreaking development, scientists at Nagoya University in Japan have created the world’s most powerful loop heat pipe (LHP), capable of transporting an astounding 10 kilowatts of heat without using any electricity. This innovation promises to revolutionize energy efficiency across multiple industries, from electric vehicles to data centers.

Oxford scientists make new solar cell technology discovery which you could soon wear, stick on your mobile or coat your car with.

Solar opponents will have to figure out a new line of attack when perovskite solar cells suddenly plaster the world.

A new ultra-thin material created by scientists at Oxford University could revolutionize solar collection technology.

Microalgae such as the diatom Odontella aurita and the green alga Tetraselmis striata are especially suitable as “biofactories” for the production of sustainable materials for 3D laser printing due to their high content in lipids and photoactive pigments. An international research team led by Prof. Dr Eva Blasco, a scientist at the Institute for Molecular Systems Engineering and Advanced Materials (IMSEAM) of Heidelberg University, has succeeded for the first time in manufacturing inks for printing complex biocompatible 3D microstructures from the raw materials extracted from the microalgae. The microalgae-based materials could be used in future as the basis for implants or scaffolds for 3D cell cultures.

The research has been published in Advanced Materials (“Printing Green: Microalgae-Based Materials for 3D Printing with Light”).
