Muscle Cell Response of Artery Tissue Revealed by Raman Scattering
A team of North American researchers developed an epi-SRS imaging platform for functional imaging of VSMCs in fresh coronary arteries which could support in developing new strategies for cardiovascular disease treatment.
Dynamic Conformation Control
Prof. Lei Fang reviews how co-planar conformation in π-conjugated systems can be locked by using dynamic noncovalent bonds.
Deadline Extended for NANO2018: 30 Years of Advanced Materials
Submit your abstract for NANO2018 conference at City University of Hong Kong by 28 February 2018.
Ultrasensitive Photodetector for Thermal Imaging and Sensing
A team of researchers design broadband field-effect phototransistors based on molybdenum disulfide. The photodetector has the ability to detect very weak optical signals and is promising for applications in thermal imaging and sensing.
Come Celebrate 30 Years of Advanced Materials at NANO2018
Special AM30 Symposium at NANO2018 in Hong Kong.
Imaging Blood Flow with Optical Tomography and Speckle Detection
A team of Dutch scientist report the use of ultrasound modulated optical tomography (UOT) with heterodyne parallel detection to locally sense and image blood flow deep inside a highly scattering medium.
Hydrogel Particles With Tunable Size Open New Directions in Bioapplications
A simple and convenient method to fabricate thermoresponsive gel particles with tunable size across multiple size scales opens new directions in biomaterials, optics, and pharmaceutics.
Organization and Transport of Cell Chain Through Optofluidics
A team of Chinese researchers demonstrated an optofluidic strategy, by implanting the microfluidic technique with a large-tapered-angle fiber probe (LTAP), to organize and transport a cell chain in a noncontact and noninvasive manner.
Investigating the Breakdown Mechanism in High-Speed Electronic Devices
A team of researchers use in-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to record the dynamic evolution of structural and electrical interfacial properties of zirconium dioxide films on aluminum oxide and indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) substrates. This investigation paves the way towards faster, more efficient high-speed electronic devices.
