Mechanisms of the action for ketosis in aging and extending life span are proposed in a recent review.
Dislocation-Induced Space Charge Fields: Controlling Oxide Properties
Plastic strain engineering to analyze the effect of dislocation space charges on electrical and oxygen diffusion properties in SrTiO3 as a model oxide.
Localization and Chaos in a Quantum Spin Glass Model
Many-body localized systems are central to the functioning of modern quantum computing devices. Yet, many-body localization is not completely understood.
Blooming Knit Flowers
Knitted soft morphing flowers—lilies, daffodils, gamopetalous and calla flowers—are fabricated using thermally responsive smart fibres.
Conference Report: 36th Australasian Polymer Symposium
The 36th APS, which took place in Lorne, Victoria, from November 20-23, featured talks on a wide range of polymer science topics from both local and international speakers.
Kirigami/Origami-Based Reflectors for Beam Steering
Redirecting incident light towards a specific direction is a basic feat of engineering useful for large applications, such as redirecting sunlight onto solar panels or to provide greater illumination in a household, and for smaller applications, such as in optical...
On Starting A New Experiment
Current Protocols can help to avoid those wasted hours when your experimental method just won’t cooperate.
Thiol-Ene versus Binary Thiol–Acrylate Chemistry
Thiol-ene photopolymers provide a uniform network structure due to the well-defined step-growth mechanism of the photopolymerization between thiol and alkene monomers.
Efficient, Neuron-Inspired Computing
Jeong et al. argue that a change in paradigm away from the CPU+Memory computing approach and towards a materials approach which mimics biological neurons as synapses is needed.
Photoprotection or Photodamage? An Old But Unsolved Debate About Melanin
Over the past decade, melanin pigments and their subunits have attracted increasing interest as soft biocompatible functional materials with antioxidant properties for engineering high performance, low impact biocompatible optoelectronic devices, such as memory...
