Scientists have developed a light-activated coating for filtration membranes - the kind used in water treatment facilities, at semiconductor manufacturing sites and within the food and beverage industry - to make them self-cleaning, eliminating the need to shut systems down in order to repair them. • Email to a friend • Researchers have developed a prototype device that non-invasively detected COVID-19 in the exhaled breath of infected patients. • Email to a friend • Defects turn common material into a highly efficient capacitor. • Email to a friend • Researchers demonstrated that living MOF-plant nanobiohybrids can be used for the detection of various toxic metal ions and organic pollutants. • Email to a friend • Understanding the alignment phenomena of a nematic liquid crystals on nanostructured surfaces remains an important area of research, as the alignment process determines the LC's molecular orientation and conformation - which influence the LC's optical and electro-optical characteristics in modern LCDs. Researchers report that an inorganic nanostructured surface - vertically aligned carbon nanotube arrays - can be employed as the alignment agent to design an electro-optic homeotropic LC device. • Email to a friend • For the first time, scientists were able to observe how electronic charge excitation changes electron spin in metal oxides in an ultrafast and inphase manner. • Email to a friend • Researchers have made their strongest and most conductive fibers yet, made of long carbon nanotubes through a wet spinning process. • Email to a friend • Scientists summarize recent developments in the field of nanofiltration and provide guidance for potential future approaches to improve the selectivity of nanofiltration membranes. • Email to a friend • New anti-bacterial surfaces are being developed, featuring different nanopatterns that mimic the deadly action of insect wings, but scientists are only beginning to unravel the mysteries of how they work. • Email to a friend • |
