1. Chemists from the University of Würzburg have made progress to achieving artificial photosynthesis Nanocapsules have been loaded with reactive molecules which convert UV light to visible light which varies based on the pH of the environment. The chemical conversion to light could lead to artificial photosynthesis and separately be used for tiny sensors for …
HP today announced new inertial sensing technology that enables the development of digital micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers that are up to 1,000 times more sensitive than high-volume products currently available. A MEMS accelerometer is a sensor that can be used to measure vibration, shock or change in velocity. By deploying many of these detectors as …
