Scientists developed a new class of polymers based on protein-like materials that work as proton conductors and might be useful in future bio-electronic devices. • Email to a friend • Researchers have revealed a nanomaterial that mirrors the 'magic angle' effect originally found in a complex man-made structure known as twisted bilayer graphene. • Email to a friend • Researchers have developed a new concept that uses the electron spin to switch an electrical current. In addition to fundamental research, such spin valves are also the key elements in spintronics. • Email to a friend • Graphene buckles when cooled while attached to a flat surface, resulting in beautiful pucker patterns that could benefit the search for novel quantum materials and superconductors. • Email to a friend • A new way to check nanomaterial quality enters the 'wild frontier' industry. • Email to a friend • Researchers have developed 'porous liquids': Metal-organic frameworks, that are able to separate gas molecules of different sizes from each other, float - finely distributed - in a solvent. • Email to a friend • The 3D structure in 620nm pixels has an over 50 times higher resolution than that of 8K QLED TV. • Email to a friend • Researchers use cellulose nanocrystals, to pin and coat carbon nanotubes uniformly onto the carbon-fiber composites. The researchers said their prescribed method is quicker than conventional methods and also allows the designing of carbon-fiber composites from the nanoscale. • Email to a friend • When glass blower Karen Cunningham made art using diamond and glass she had no idea it would inspire a new kind of hybrid material. Now a consortium of scientists are using the technology to make a new class of quantum sensors. • Email to a friend • Researchers report an integrated multimodal flexible sensor system comprising a room humidity sensor, a leaf humidity sensor, an optical sensor, and a temperature sensor that can tap into potential physiological health issues of plants. Using stacked ZIS nanosheets as the kernel sensing media, the flexible sensor can not only perceive light illumination at a fast response, but also monitor the humidity with a perdurable steady performance. The researchers measured in real time three primary abiotic stresses - i.e. humidity, light and temperature - that govern the transpiration of plants are measured without signal cross-coupling effect. • Email to a friend • Scientists have used the principle of magneto-rotation coupling to suppress the transmission of sound waves on the surface of a film in one direction while allowing them to travel in the other. This could lead to the development of 'acoustic rectifiers'. • Email to a friend • Researchers report permanent and irreversible transition of 2D hybrid Dion-Jacobson lead iodide perovskite to 3D perovskite phase at ambient conditions after pressure treatment. • Email to a friend • Scientists take an important step towards understanding the interaction between layers of atomically thin materials arranged in stacks. • Email to a friend • |
