How to make greener ammonia with tribology?
15.03.2021 Jean-David Wheeler

A bit of context Ammonia synthesis is estimated to generate ~1% of the world CO2 emissions [2]. This single molecule is mass produced (~175 Mt) and the Haber-Bosch process employed is fossil fuel hungry! High […]

Biodegradable Triboelectric Nanogenerators to Power Implantable Sensors
15.06.2020 Aydar Akchurin

Energy harvesting (also sometimes called scavenging) is a process of energy derivation from the ambient sources, e.g., sunlight, wind, heat, mechanical vibrations, etc.  The main idea is that devices can collect the energy present in […]
