The research was conducted between the University of Texas in Austin, Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the KTH Royal Institute of Technology. The article explains that beetles have a microscopic triangular structure on their wings that reflects sunlight and simultaneously allows them to disperse body heat. The researchers then tried to copy the structure to produce a new material. The result is a composite of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and ceramic particles. The microstructure is obtained through an ad hoc printing process. The result is a film that replicates the characteristics of beetle wings. More
Sensortechnology is highly dependent on the development of microelectronics. The focus is on capacitors, which require high power density, charge-discharge speed, long life cycles and low costs. A team of researchers has developed a high-performance, cost-effective, environmentally friendly and flexible supercapacitor. The research was developed between the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology in Moscow, Aalto University and the Massachosetts Institute of Technology. More
