Singapore research produces world’s best protection film for plastic electronic devices
Imre_film.jpgA team of scientists from Singapore’s Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE) has developed a new patented film that has the highest reported water vapour barrier performance to date, as tested by the UK Centre for Process Innovation. The tests have shown that the new film is 1,000 times more impervious to moisture than existing technologies. This means a longer lifetime for plastic electronic devices such as solar cells and flexible displays that use these high-end films but whose sensitive organic materials are easily degraded by water vapour and oxygen.

Silver-Nano washing machines and air conditioners injurious to your health?
nano_aircon.jpg Silver-nano washing machines can effectively kill germs hidden in dirty laundry; scientists suspect they are probably toxic to human cells and other organisms. Joint research by Korea University and the Korea Institute of Science and Technology has uncovered why silver nanoparticles are so powerful and efficient in killing germs. Their findings have led to worries that the microbe particles can damage cells of animals and plants exposed to them. Silver has been widely recognized as an antiseptic metal. Based on this, ancient Greeks used to store drinking water in silver vessels, and Koreans have preferred silver chopsticks throughout the ages. The study is raising an alarm with Korean companies such as Samsung Electronics, which has been promoting its ``Silver Nano Health System'' washers and air conditioners.
