The hybrid titanium surface presented here may lead to the development of new classes of implant materials.
The month’s top articles from the field of nanooptics, optoelectronics, optical devices, detectors & sensors, micro/nano resonators and more.
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.
A team of researchers at Stanford University has developed shape-controlled, self-wrapping electronics based on carbon nanotubes.
The project is currently developing a laser welding process for joining three-dimensional structures made of steel and aluminum in a hybrid design.
Japanese researchers successfully control the higher-ordered structure of an electrostatic assembly prepared from oppositely charged polypeptides.
MIT researchers demonstrate a facile and potentially universal approach to white light-emitting materials synthesis.
