The Nobel Foundation honored University of Texas engineering professor John Goodenough, 97, with the 2019 Nobel Prize in chemistry last fall.

Goodenough, along with researchers Michael Stanley Whittingham and Akira Yoshino, was recognized for contributions to the development of lithium-ion batteries, which power laptops, smartphones and other electronic devices. But those who work with Goodenough say he should be acknowledged not only for his scientific strides but also for his kindness. (more…)

Freiburger Forschende klären mit einem Comic über Bioökonomie auf

Manche Konzepte sind so komplex, dass sie am besten mit einfachen Mitteln zu erklären sind. Die Bioökonomie ist einer dieser Entwürfe: Sie beschreibt die Transformation von einer erdölbasierten Marktwirtschaft hin zu einem ökonomischen Rahmen, in dem fossile Ressourcen durch verschiedene nachwachsende Rohstoffe ersetzt werden.

MU researchers found that people living with disabilities wish to purchase clothing that is designed and marketed like any other apparel

COLUMBIA, Mo. – Retailers and brands such as Kohl’s, Nike, Target, Tommy Hilfiger and Zappos have recently launched adaptive apparel lines, and economists have predicted that the U.S. adaptive clothing market could grow to $54.8 billion by 2023.

Die meisten natürlichen und künstlichen Oberflächen sind rau: Metalle und selbst Gläser, die mit dem bloßen Auge glatt erscheinen, sehen unter dem Mikroskop aus wie Berglandschaften. Es gibt derzeit keine einheitliche Theorie über den Ursprung dieser Rauheit, die auf jeder Größenskala, von atomaren bis zu tektonischen Abständen, beobachtet wird. (more…)
