Professor Bengt Fadeel of Stockholm’s Karolinska Institutet reviews Nanomaterials for Medical Applications by Zoraida Aguilar.
The week in research: February 5th 2014
A roundup of the latest materials science research from the past week.
One-dimensional wires with suppressed conductivity
Researchers create perfect one-dimensional molecular wires in which the electrical conductivity can almost entirely be suppressed by a weak magnetic field
Optical circuits from polycrystalline diamond
Pernice group at KIT use polycrystalline diamond for the fabrication of wafer-based optomechanical circuits.
Optical surface for new solar cells, computing, and sensing
New optical technologies using “metasurfaces” capable of the ultra-efficient control of light are nearing commercialization.
Versatile sCMOS Camera
New versatile camera „ORCA-Flash4.0 V2“, a 4-megapixel scientific CMOS camera that offers unrivalled flexibility across a wide range of microscopy applications. The camera has many new features such as two scan speeds, a readout mode for light sheet microscopy, and USB 3.0 and Camera Link interfaces.
February Highlights from physica status solidi
Amorphous graphene, copper clusters, and solar cells – these and more in February’s physics highlights.
Advanced Optical Materials publishes first issue
The first independent issue of Advanced Optical Materials is now online, including a review on magnetoplasmonics as well as ten excellent, original research articles.
Modified silicon carbide crystals could be better than diamond
University of Würzburg physicists have modified silicon carbide crystals and found that they may have application in quantum computing.
