Researchers have reported on the first experimental observation of the nonlinear photonic disclination states in waveguide arrays with pentagonal or heptagonal disclination cores inscribed in transparent optical medium using the fs-laser writing technique.
Researchers develop a fully biodegradable and biocompatible ionotronic skin that rapidly dissolves in physiological fluids, opening the door to zero-waste wearable electronics.
Scientists propose a strategy of 'ion carriers' by importing macromolecular Zn2+ carriers with a large mass-to-charge ratio to decouple the ion flux from the inhomogeneous electric field and substrate.
