This month’s Advanced Engineering Materials covers and top papers.
Stability Analysis in Spatial Models of Signaling
Examples of spatio-temporal patterns at different biological length scales.
Global Challenges: Editors’ Choice
The editors of Global Challenges share their favorite articles.
Shape Memory Effects in Gold Nanoparticles
The combination of two irreversible processes is shown to lead to damage recovery and reversible restoration of particle shape.
Recent Progress in the Applications of Vanadium-Based Oxides on Energy Storage
Researchers from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics review the current developments and future opportunities for the application of vanadium-based oxides in Li- and Na-ion batteries.
Microcyclic Structure Formation using Silver Nanopores
Gold nanoparticle assembly gets a little help from its friends: functionalised gold forms microscale structures via a guided silver aggregation strategy.
Flexible Graphene Energy Storage Membrane
An easy, step-by-step filtration forms energy-storing membranes with good mechanical stability, taking the sandwiched form of rGO-TiO2/rGO/rGO-TiO2.
Chimeric RNAs in Cancer and Normal Physiology
Chimeric RNAs can be generated by not only chromosomal rearrangements at the DNA level, but also intergenic splicing at the RNA level. Chimeric RNAs are demonstrated to be not the elusive features of cancer cells, but also present in normal physiology and with diverse functions.
Understanding H- and J-Aggregation: One Small Step for a Scientist, One Giant Leap for Solar Cells
Optimizing H- and J-type aggregates significantly improves the power conversion efficiency in bulk-heterojunction solar cells.
Li Storage Mechanism in Graphene/MoS2 Composites
The electrochemical performance of graphene/MoS2 heterostructures is optimised and the kinetics of their lithium storage mechanism are elucidated.
