Scientists have developed an acid-based solvent that simplifies carbon nanotube processing in a way that's less toxic and easy to scale up for industrial applications.
Scientists have tried to develop a silver coating for implantable medical devices to protect against infection, but they've had limited success. A recent study describes a new, long-acting silver-ion releasing coating that, in rats, prevents bacteria from adhering to implants and then kills them.
Researchers report a synthetic hydrogel bioadhesive from a variety of polymer precursors, featuring instant formation of tough biointerface, allowing for wet and robust adhesion with highly dynamic biological tissues.
Researchers have discovered one-way superconductivity without magnetic fields, something that was thought to be impossible ever since its discovery in 1911. The discovery makes use of 2D quantum materials and paves the way towards superconducting computing.
Scientists develop a new approach for miniaturization of soft ultra-compact and highly integrated sensor units for directional tactile sensitivity in e-skin systems
In the search for novel types of superconductors scientists are investigating materials that consist of multiple layers. Physicists have studied in detail the properties of a system of three twisted graphene layers and gained important insights into its properties.
