Researchers have reported a new material, pliable enough to be woven into fabric but imbued with sensing capabilities that can serve as an early warning system for injury or illness. • Email to a friend • Scientists used circular molecules to change the properties of a surface. • Email to a friend • Researchers have developed micromotors with three 'engines' that they can control separately with chemical fuel, magnets and light. • Email to a friend • Researchers have incorporated ultra-thin optical devices known as metasurfaces into off-the-shelf contact lenses to correct deuteranomaly, a form of red-green color blindness. • Email to a friend • An approach for developing light-emitting fabric based on typical ultrasheer pantyhose coated in a thin gold film may enable the development of softer, more wearable luminous clothing. • Email to a friend • Researchers have successfully grown atom-thick sheets of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) as two-inch diameter crystals across a wafer. • Email to a friend • Scientists tap into graphene's hidden talent as an electrically tunable superconductor, insulator, and magnetic device for the advancement of quantum information science. • Email to a friend • Researchers have reported the world's first 1.5 um III-V lasers directly grown on the industry-standard 220 nm SOI (silicon-on-insulators) wafers without buffer, potentially paving an opening to the 'holy grail' for present silicon photonics research. • Email to a friend • Researchers have developed a new type of dye-sensitised solar cells that harvest light from indoor lamps. • Email to a friend • In this work, researchers constructed single perovskite alloy nanowire with a widely tunable bandgap (2.41-2.82 eV) through a solid-solid anion-diffusion process. • Email to a friend • A technique based on the principles of MRI and NMR has allowed researchers to observe not only how next-generation batteries for large-scale energy storage work, but also how they fail, which will assist in the development of strategies to extend battery lifetimes in support of the transition to a zero-carbon future. • Email to a friend • Two dimensional titanium carbides, so-called MXenes, are being discussed as candidates for the rapid storage of electrical energy. Like a battery,MXenes can store large amounts of electrical energy through electrochemical reactions- but unlike batteries,can be charged and discharged in a matter of seconds. • Email to a friend • Both display and non-display applications of liquid crystals rely on advanced liquid crystal materials. Liquid crystal materials with new functionalities can be produced by dispersing nanomaterials in liquid crystals, resulting in a mixture of nano-dopants and liquid crystals. These novel, nanotechnology-based materials very often exhibit unusual properties. For that reason, nanomaterials in liquid crystals are a hot topic of contemporary liquid crystal research and many research teams around the world carry out basic research in this field. • Email to a friend • Discovery is significant step in developing electronics for extreme energy efficiency and harsh environments. • Email to a friend • Researchers have generated Rydberg atoms - unusually large excited atoms - near nanometer-thin optical fibers. • Email to a friend • Researchers have developed a way to 3D print graphene oxide with a protein which can organise into tubular structures that replicate some properties of vascular tissue. • Email to a friend • |
