Mechanoluminescent materials convert mechanical energy such as stress, strain, and vibration directly into light, making them attractive as self-powered sensors that require no batteries or wiring. From biomedical sensors to self-powered infrastructure monitoring sensors, mechanoluminescent material...

Lignin is one of the most abundant renewable aromatic resources on Earth. As a major component of plant biomass, it contains rich benzene-ring structures that could be transformed into high-value chemicals and fuel molecules. However, lignin is also highly complex and difficult to break down efficie...

A research team led by Professor Taesung Kim of the School of Mechanical Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU, President Ji-beom Yoo) developed an optoelectronic synaptic device that mimics the functions of human neurons and synapses at the device scale. The researchers designed a designable...
