The redox flow battery (RFB) is a promising technology for the storage of electric energy. Many commercial RFBs are often based on acidic vanadium electrolyte solutions that have limitations regarding stability and energy density. Here, a new approach is presented that is inspired by nature’s electron storage, i.e. iron–sulfur clusters [Fe4S4(SR)4]2−.

A new anti-reflective coating inspired by the compound lenses in moth eyes could help boost the efficiency of solar cells and sharpen the view of image sensors. Nature provides an alternative design strategy for an affordable, broadband antireflective coating. Nocturnal moths navigate under the dim light of the moon and stars […]
Abstract: Hummingbirds are well known for their ability to sustain hovering flight, but many other remarkable features of manoeuvrability characterize the more than 330 species of trochilid. Most research on hummingbird flight has been focused on either forward flight or hovering in otherwise non-perturbed air. In nature, […]
