Safer and Abundant Batteries – IDTechEx Explores Sodium-Ion Developments

Vijay Raman

  Sodium-ion batteries bring new opportunities for lower costs, greater sustainability, and safety into the battery market. With sodium being more widely available than lithium, concerns about energy security and supply-chain shortages can hopefully start to decrease for economies. IDTechEx’s report on the topic, “Sodium-ion Batteries 2024-2034: Technology, Players, Markets, and Forecasts”, dives into the world of sodium-ion batteries and what they have to offer.   Complementing batteries   Transported at 0 volts, compared with lithium-ion, which requires around 30% state of charge to travel, sodium-ion batteries’ use of aluminum…

Indian researchers critically analyse the application of organic surface biosurfactants in food industries

Vijay Raman

Cost-effective biological surface activators Synthetic surface activators useful for the food industry can be produced as a healthy alternative by using green substrates from agro-industrial wastes. Surfactants are molecules that glide across the surfaces of oil and water, water and oil, or air and water to form an emulsion. Surfactants are very useful in the food industry as lubricants and foamers to emulsify fats in batters, improve shelf life, as spreading agents and to retain moisture. However, the increased use of synthetic food additives and emulsifiers in food products has…

New research brings hope to millions of diabetes patients

Vijay Raman

Researchers have discovered the potential of zinc oxide nanoparticles to improve kidney function and combat diabetic nephropathy, paving the way for new therapeutic approaches in managing diabetes-associated kidney problems. Diabetic nephropathy is a common, serious complication and debilitating condition caused by long-term diabetes. This promising discovery may pave the way for new therapeutic approaches in managing diabetes-associated kidney problems. Diabetic nephropathy is a complication caused by long-term diabetes. It affects 20-50 percent of patients with type-I diabetes. It is caused by a gradual decline in kidney function, often resulting in…
