With this, the researchers have created a molecular circuit that works as a unique combination of a switch and a diode: a switchable molecular diode that can be turned on and off with humidity. Vice ...

A material state known as super-lubricity, where friction between two contacting surfaces nearly vanishes, is a phenomenon that materials researchers have studied for years due to the potential for ...

The HS Series humidity switch, designed to control dehumidifying as well as humidifying, has a relative humidity (rh) range from 0 percent to 100 percent. The switch features nine user-defined ...

(Nanowerk News) In 2016, Ben Feringa received the Nobel Prize—with Stoddard and Sauvage— for developing molecular motors. His work provides a spectacular example of a broader research area where ...

This humidity controlled switch circuit turns on and off an electrical load (for example a heater) depending on the moisture content of the surrounding air. The moisture is “sensed” with the help of a ...
