Two new methods – microcontact printing and photolithography – to obtain structured polypeptoid brushes with excellent non-fouling properties are presented.
Results for "sensors"
Don't touch: Operating displays with moisture
A new sensor technology could enable touchless displays that respond to moisture emitted by the human body.
Optimal strategies for product-by-process materials
Spanish researchers review the knowledge-based production of waterborne hybrid polymer materials
An all-around motion sensor from graphene fiber
Researchers in China make a stretchable graphene-based motion sensor that can monitor all types of human activities with ultrahigh sensitivity.
A Flexible and Sensitive miRNA Biosensor
Low concentrations (10 × 10−15 M) of the disease biomarker microRNA-21 (miRNA-21) can be detected by a flexible biosensor.
Hybrid-structured titanium surfaces: a new class of implant material
The hybrid titanium surface presented here may lead to the development of new classes of implant materials.
Advanced Optical Materials Top 5 – October 2015
The month’s top articles from the field of nanooptics, optoelectronics, optical devices, detectors & sensors, micro/nano resonators and more.
A Fluorescent Rotaxane: Molecular Shuttle and Sensor Gel
The fluorescent rotaxane is a molecular shuttle sensitive to temperature, pH, and solvent polarity changes. It forms a gel which changes its fluorescence properties upon acidic/basic gas exposure and can be turned into a liquid by shaking, heating, and by adding anions.
Custom Fit: Self-Wrapping 3D Electronics
A team of researchers at Stanford University has developed shape-controlled, self-wrapping electronics based on carbon nanotubes.
Steel/aluminum welding: lighter with lasers
The project is currently developing a laser welding process for joining three-dimensional structures made of steel and aluminum in a hybrid design.
