Sweet nanogenerator, cosmic fossil, quantum dots for brain disease🧠 Plus: SciCom Coffee July speaker

Sweet power nanogenerator

Sungkyunkwan University

By incorporating the sweetener stevia, researchers improved the mechanical strength and electrical output of triboelectric nanogenerators. The new hydrogel can also be recycled, demonstrating its potential as an eco-friendly material.

Up to 8 times

Cosmic fossil

Kanazawa University

An international team captured a rare look into the chemical make-up of an “ancestor” galaxy, providing a historic window into the earliest, most primitive stages of galaxy assembly and establishing a new way to map the birth of elements.

First ingredients

Dopamine and Alzheimer's link

Tohoku University

Researchers identified dopamine deficiency as a previously unrecognised mechanism driving memory impairment in Alzheimer's disease, potentially opening the door to new therapies for reversing cognitive decline.

Rescuing memories

Sustainable 3D printing

YOKOHAMA National University

A research team developed a new resin that can be recycled at least 10 times, enabling high-resolution and sustainable 3D printing. The material's structures can revert to their original 2D format when heated.

Anthracene

Quantum dots for brain diseases

Science and Technology of Advanced Materials

Engineered carbon-based nanomaterials called graphene quantum dots can interfere with the aggregation of misfolded proteins linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s.

Toxic clumps

Smart trolley

Lingnan University

An AI-powered smart trolley solution for conventional handcarts reduces the pushing effort required to move loads of about 200 kilograms by up to 90%, easing the physical strain on logistics and delivery workers.

IntuCREW

Bamboo and bone

National Taiwan University

Researchers developed materials that mimic bone and bamboo structures to improve strength and toughness simultaneously. The team discovered how soft layers near cracks can prevent catastrophic failure.
