Carbon nanobuds (CNB) were discovered in 2006 by the founders of the Finnish company Canatu Oy when the research group was trying to produce single-walled carbon nanotubes. CNBs are therefore a combination of carbon nanotubes and spherical fullerenes (hollow, closed molecules of carbon atoms) and…

According to Wikipedia, silicon is the second most abundant element in the earth's shell, based on the mass fraction (ppmw), after oxygen. Silicon is a semimetal and an element semiconductor.
Elemental silicon can be obtained on a laboratory scale by reduction, starting from silicon dioxide or…

We have already reported on Gorilla Glass in various blog posts. If you search for the term on the Internet, you will also notice that many suppliers excel in using Corning's Gorilla Glass in their products. It is no secret that many smartphones, tablet PCs or large flat screens attach the glass to…

The abbreviation HMI stands for Human Machine Interface. This is a user interface (also known as a human-machine interface (MMS)). In general, a user interface is above all where menus are shown on a display and operated by a human.
HMIs for electromedical devices can often be found:

For some time now, scientists have seen graphene as a proven successor to ITO (indium tin oxide). That is why there are numerous research projects that are looking for a cost-effective and large-scale production option for graphene.
Among others, materials scientists from the University of Erlangen…
