A comprehensive overview on the state-of-the-art of waterborne polymer/graphene nanocomposites focusing on high performance coatings and adhesives is presented by R. Tomovska et. al.
Electronic Analogue to Mie Scattering in Graphene
Recently, researchers at the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nürnberg presented an electronic analogue of Mie scattering.
Particle Micromotors
Magnetically steerable, acid-resistant micromotors are developed that can be fabricated by electrostatic attraction between magnetite nanoparticles and gold microrods at pH ≈ 4.
Highlights of the MRS Fall Meeting 2016, Boston
Society is at a crossroads with many topics such as sustainability, energy, medicine, and healthcare. Material science offers many solutions to these problems.
Analytical Trident in the Fight Against Glioma
Researchers present the use of Au@MIL-88(Fe) nanoparticles that serve as triple-modality imaging agents, in CT, MRI, and PA imaging of gliomas.
Enhanced optical modulation depth of terahertz waves
A particularly intriguing terahertz modulator has been created by Dr. Tianlong Wen, Prof. Qiye Wen and their colleagues.
Multifunctional Theranostic Agent for Multimodal Imaging Guided Photothermal Cancer Therapy
At Soochow University they have successfully prepared ultrasmall anionic-deficient WO3-x nanotheranostic probes
Capturing Circulating Cancer Cells
Nanogels were developed as magnetic capturing devices for circulating tumor cells and applied in the magnetic separation of human cancer cells from a mixed cell suspension.
Next generation optoelectronic devices
Researchers distinguish the origin and energetics of spectral features supported in nanoparticle-TMD monolayer hybrids.
A new paradigm for hybrid optical materials
In a new study led by the University of Adelaide in Australia, researchers have developed a versatile direct-doping approach to integrate UPNCs in glass. They discovered that the upconversion emissions of erbium ions can be used to diagnose the survival and dissolution fraction of doped UPNCs in glass.
