Researchers are searching for tiny components that function reliably in increasingly narrow electronic configurations. Promising elements include the chemical compounds indium selenide and gallium ...

Johns Hopkins APL researchers are using encapsulation, a technique that traps reactive chemicals inside microscopic shells, ...

Essential oils possess potent antimicrobial properties but are hindered by volatility, poor water solubility and chemical instability. Encapsulation strategies address these limitations by entrapping ...

Scientists in India have used a pouch laminator to encapsulate a polycrystalline solar cell. The resulting device, the researchers claim, showed better UV photon absorption than solar cells treated ...

Immunotherapy techniques developed in oncology to combat cancerous cells have great potential for fighting viruses. A research team from the University Hospitals of Geneva (HUG) and the University of ...

Extracts from plant essential oils (terpenes) can be stabilised by encapsulation in the polysaccharide beta-cyclodextrin and modified starch, suggests new research from Greece. The study, published ...

Nanoencapsulation is defined as the process of encapsulating substances with various coating materials at the nanoscale range. This technique is primarily used within the pharmaceutical, food and ...

Korean researchers claim it is possible to extract more than 10% of ‘hidden electricity’ in crystalline solar cells using a new encapsulation process based on poly‐dimethylsiloxane coatings and a ...

On March 26, 1954, National Cash Register sold its first roll of carbonless paper. Developed in collaboration with Appleton Coated Paper, the product harnessed brand-new microencapsulation technology ...
