Carbon nanotubes were discovered in Japan by S. Iijima in 1991, published in Nature 354, 56 (1991), during the research on fullerenes. The great impact of nanostructured materials is due to its large surface properties and improved roads open to a wide variety of new applications. So, have attracted and are attracting considerable interest as constituents of new materials and nanoscale devices.

Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology (ICT) have developed an innovative battery circulating redox ( “redox-flow“). This type of battery has the following advantage: when it is discharged, the electrolyte fluid from which it operates can be simply exchanged against an electrolyte nine, which requires as much time as filling a gas tank.
To meet the challenge to move one million units by 2020 in Germany, one of the problems that remain to be addressed is that of energy storage.

Researchers from North Carolina State University received a grant of 3 years, $ 1.2 million, funded by the National Science Foundation’s Center for Chemical Innovation (NSF-CCI). This amount is intended to strengthen research in the emerging field of molecular spintronics, including the creation of a center affiliated with the NC State University. The main objective is the development of this technology for the manufacture of new electronic components smaller, faster, with better efficiency and greater storage capacity.

Tomography X-ray absorption is a nondestructive technique that allows reconstruction of images “sectional” objects in three dimensions. Today, a tomography system with micro-resolution allows access to previously inaccessible details of the micro-architecture of an internal three-dimensional object, and in a wide range of applications.
A multifunctional system of micro-tomography and micro-fluorescence X-ray was designed,
