Insights on centuries-old folk instrument is underpinned by a mathematical principle that may pave the way for high-quality resonators for sensing, electronics and more.
Researchers developed a scalable, facile one-step thermomolding method to fabricate a class of hierarchical olefin-linked covalent organic framework (COF) foams via melt polymerization.
Scientists devised a non-contact optical characterization approach to precisely detect the value of negative pressure of stretch water, particularly in microfluidic systems.
Polaritons in biaxial crystals offer a promising route to manipulate nanoscale light-matter interactions. The dynamic modulation of their dispersion is of great significance for future integrated nano-optics but remains challenging. Researchers theoretically demonstrate and experimentally verify such tailored polaritons at the interface of heterostructures. The interface engineering may shed new light on programmable polaritonics, energy transfer, and neuromorphic photonics
Researchers have developed an electrochemical DNA nanomachine based on looped bipedal DNA walking reaction for highly sensitive analysis of nucleic acids.
Researchers have fabricated a flexible material that lights up brightly when stretched and/or when an electric field is applied. The results show promise for the development of bright, sustainable, stretchable devices for use, for example, as interactive skin displays and in soft robotics.
