Defect chemistry unveils efficient thermoelectric material
Researchers from Panasonic Corporation observed an outstanding n-type thermoelectric performance in a low-cost and earth-abundant semiconductor.
Spontaneous Electroless Galvanic Cell Deposition of 3D Heterostructures
Dr. Tan and colleagues, have developed a scalable and one-pot electroless galvanic cell synthesis of semiconductor-metal-semiconductor (S-M-S) interconnected nanoarray.
Analytical Trident in the Fight Against Glioma
Researchers present the use of Au@MIL-88(Fe) nanoparticles that serve as triple-modality imaging agents, in CT, MRI, and PA imaging of gliomas.
Engineering Surfaces Through Sequential Stop-Flow Photopatterning
Researchers report the engineering of surfaces through sequential stop-flow photopatterning, in work dedicated to the late Professor Edward Kramer.
Nylon muscles bend it like…the guys from MIT
Researchers from MIT present an approach to make artificial muscles with nylon that bend, controllably, in any direction.
