Energy Security: How to Tackle the Old-new Global Concern
Azzuni and Breyer propose a generic definition of energy security. A definition that covers all aspects of the energy security concept with taking into consideration the notion of sustainability and vulnerability was developed.
Laser Spectroscopy To Diagnose Hip Problems
A team of scientist from the Center for Optical and Electromagnetic Research in China developed a new laser spectroscopy method measuring gas to detect necrosis in the hip joints.
Two Decades of Dendrimers as Versatile MRI Agents: A Tale with and without Metals
A vast number of metallic and non-metallic labels can be conjugated to the dendrimer surface in order to transform them into MRI agents. Due to their multiple branches and high payload they can be readily detected, for example, following local delivery to a brain tumor.
ESB 2017 – The 28th Annual Conference of the European Society for Biomaterials
Highlights of the ESB 2017, held in Athens, Greece, from September 4 to 8.
Performance Enhancement of Polymer Resins by Bioinspired Dynamic Bonding
High hardness/rigidity compromises the extensibility and flexibility in state-of-the-art load-bearing polymer composites, including dental-resin composites. A look at an alternative.
Biomimetic Apatite Formation
There is a growing body of evidence that a secondary structure of highly negatively charged proteins can play an important role in localizing calcium and phosphate ions to promote the formation of the HAp deposits.
Silk Fibroin/Gelatin Scaffold for Knee Cartilage Regeneration
Professor Yingfang Ao from Peking University Third Hospital, Haifeng Chen from Peking University, and colleagues use 3D printing to generate a silk fibroin/gelatin scaffold for knee cartilage regeneration.
Modeling of Microstructural Evolution by Freeze-Casting
This paper presents what is probably the first working phase field model of freezing colloidal suspension.
Charge Transport in Conjugated Polymers – Insights from Single Crystals
A breakthrough in producing high quality conjugated polymer single crystals is demonstrated by physical vapor transport and topochemical-polymerization. Intra- and inter-chain charge transport can be measured separately in an individual conjugated polymer single crystal.
