Expanding the Boundaries of 3D Printing Technology
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers introduce a new 3D printing strategy that overcomes the limitations of direct ink writing. Structures can be printed in six different modes, and can even be printed to have different kinetic properties.
Novel Entangled Graphene Mesh for Flexible Electronics
A highly stretchable, transparent, conductive entangled graphene mesh network (EGMN) is developed by a team researchers at Yonsei University, South Korea. The device is mechanically durable, and electrically and thermally stable, even in harsh environmental conditions.
A Potent Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia Agent for Cancer Treatment
Researchers develop a new anticancer agent composed of magnesium shallow-doped iron oxide superparamagnetic nanoparticles (SPNPs). The magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MNFH) agent is highly biocompatible and is able to completely eradicate Hep3B-induced tumors.
Photothermal Synergistic Catalysis for Efficient Carbon Dioxide Conversion
A vibrant new catalyst platform for harnessing abundant solar-energy to produce high-value hydrocarbons from a CO2 feedstock is demonstrated.
3D Printing Resolution Beyond Nozzle Size
Researchers from MIT present a strategy to increase printing resolution beyond the nozzle size, while drawing diverse complex patterns with a linear nozzle path.
Hydrogel Particles With Tunable Size Open New Directions in Bioapplications
A simple and convenient method to fabricate thermoresponsive gel particles with tunable size across multiple size scales opens new directions in biomaterials, optics, and pharmaceutics.
Flexible Bio-Electronics from Water-Processable Graphene Nano-Inks
Flexible graphene nano-inks with an excellent bioactivity pave the way for next generation biomedical applications.
Investigating the Breakdown Mechanism in High-Speed Electronic Devices
A team of researchers use in-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to record the dynamic evolution of structural and electrical interfacial properties of zirconium dioxide films on aluminum oxide and indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) substrates. This investigation paves the way towards faster, more efficient high-speed electronic devices.
Multimodal Agent for Cancer Diagnostics and Therapeutics
Chunmeng Shi and co-workers from the Third Military Medical University in Chongqing, China, introduce a small-molecule-based cancer theranostic agent for simultaneous cancer-cell mitochondrial targeting, NIR imaging, and chemo-/PDT/PTT/multimodal therapeutic activities.
