In groundbreaking new research, mechanical engineers and computer scientists have developed a 3D printing technique that uses motion capture technology, similar to that used in Hollywood movies, to print electronic sensors directly on organs that are expanding and contracting. • Email to a friend • Scientists have proposed a toroidal dipole (TD) bound states in the continuum (BIC) inspired Fano resonance metasurface, exhibiting both TD and BIC feature in the same structure. • Email to a friend • Researchers have developed self-powered 'paper chips' that sense early fires and relay a signal. • Email to a friend • Although the subtle laws of quantum mechanics, that is, wave mechanics, ultimately govern all the processes of electron transportelectrons in solids, their wave-like nature of the electrons is not often apparent to the casual observer. A classical picture of electrons as solid particles goes surprisingly far in explaining electric currents in metals. • Email to a friend • A project that revolutionizes photonic systems. • Email to a friend • Precisely positioning molecules on wire-like DNA assemblies allows high efficiency energy transfer. • Email to a friend • Designing new levels of complex architectures using DNA strands and nanoparticles. • Email to a friend • Nanoparticles cloaked in human lung cell membranes and human immune cell membranes can attract and neutralize the SARS-CoV-2 virus in cell culture, causing the virus to lose its ability to hijack host cells and reproduce. • Email to a friend • Scientists have developed an organic electrochemical transistor that they can use to measure and study in fine detail a phenomenon known as extracellular electron transfer in which bacteria release electrons. • Email to a friend • Physicochemical cargo-switching nanoparticles can help significantly reduce cholesterol and macrophage foam cells in arteries, which are the two main triggers for atherosclerotic plaque and inflammation. • Email to a friend • Researchers have presented a novel electrode material for advanced energy storage device that is directly charged with oxygen from the air. • Email to a friend • Bose-Einstein condensates are often described as the fifth state of matter: At extremely low temperatures, gas atoms behave like a single particle. The exact properties of these systems are notoriously difficult to study. • Email to a friend • The electronic and optical properties of 2D materials can be controlled by mechanical deformations of their crystal structure. This route to tailor the properties of materials is called strain engineering and it is a rapidly evolving field of research in nanomaterials. Straintronics, however, is somewhat hampered by technical issues related to the fast and reliable control of the applied strain. Researchers have now developed a versatile and straightforward platform to control the biaxial strain in atomically thin layers. • Email to a friend • A new film made of gold nanoparticles changes color in response to any type of movement. Its unprecedented qualities could allow robots to mimic chameleons and octopi - among other futuristic applications. • Email to a friend • |
