UK researchers are hoping to replace potentially dangerous chemicals in cooling systems with materials that change temperature when electricity is applied. A team at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is trying to develop the first practical ‘electrocaloric’ cooler, providing much
Imagine a composite with a remarkable strength to weight ratio. Cheap to produce and from a sustainable source, the polymer could be used by engineers in the aeronautic and automotive industries. Weight could be cut by ten per cent, with acceleration enhanced and fuel efficiency impro
The much-maligned Brussels sprout has been given a new lease of life this festive season – as a battery to light a Christmas tree. A team of scientists and engineers from ‘The Big Bang UK Young Scientists and Engineers Fair’ have created the world’s first ‘sprout battery’
