Antitumour platform comes of age: this system gets the responsible drug to keep itself in check for transport and delivery.
Precision Functionalisation of Polymeric Microparticles
The NITEC reaction is explored with tetrazole-functionalised microparticles, and demonstrates micrometer-scale resolution as a surface-patterning technique.
A Bright Future for Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Compounds
Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF)-type compounds have potential to become high-efficiency-solid-state lighting technologies in the future.
Versatile Styrene Conversion Catalyst Also Captures CO2
It reads like the plot of an action movie: against all odds, an unassuming catalyst avoids deactivation and captures its target with record effectiveness.
Nothing Sticks to this Coating: Superamphiphobic Surfaces
Superamphiphobic and durable coatings on woven/non-woven surfaces for repelling many types of liquids.
Stretchable Sensors for Biofluids
Thin, stretchable chemical sensing systems that mount on open cellular substrates for biofluids.
Perovskites Under Pressure
Researchers achieve the Shockley–Queisser optimal bandgap for an organolead trihalide hybrid perovskite using high pressure.
NO to Multidrug-Resistant Cancer
Photothermal core-shell nanoparticles that can release nitric oxide upon NIR irradiation efficiently reversing multi-drug resistance in cancer.
There is No Step Two: Simultaneous Synthesis and Application of Nanoparticles
The recognition that scaling down would be the key to the future of technology led to research into simpler, greener techniques to synthesise nanomaterial building blocks. It’s not enough that the materials can be created: synthesis techniques need to be precise and...
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...
