On one hand they need to be mechanically tough to provide impact resistance. On the other hand they need to be heat resistant. Now, researchers have developed a wearable aramid/ceramic aerogel nanocomposite material with both excellent mechanical and thermal properties. The key to this fabrication method is the in situ crosslinking that takes place between the silica pre-ceramic aerogel precursor and the Kevlar fibers. • Email to a friend • Scientists report on a novel Raman holographic technique capable of tracking individual particles in 3D volumes from one single image. • Email to a friend • Scientists propose direct magnetic writing of skyrmions, i.e. magnetic quasiparticles, and skyrmion lattices, within which it is possible to encode, transmit, process information, and produce topological patterns with a resolution of less than 100 nanometers. • Email to a friend • Researchers report on a new model for spider silk assembly. The key to spider silk 'spinning' is a combination of acidification and a process known as liquid-liquid phase separation, or LLPS. • Email to a friend • Researchers have investigated the procedure for catalyst delivery used in the most common method of carbon nanotube production, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), offering what they call a simple and elegant way to boost productivity and pave the way for cheaper and more accessible nanotube-based technology. • Email to a friend • By embedding titanium-based nanosheets in water, scientists have created a material using inorganic materials that can be converted from a hard gel to soft matter using temperature changes. • Email to a friend • |
