Scientists have fabricated a 3D metamaterial, which shows linear and circular dichroism, using a self-assembled block copolymer as a template.
Advanced Materials
Producing Nanomaterials via Laser Ablation
Professor Weiping Cai and co-workers have investigated the laser ablation/irradiation in liquid technique for producing nanomaterials.
Rolling Titanium into Scrolls: New Microstructures for Medical Implants
A group of researchers examined a new method for creating 3D micro-architectured Ti structures and found an attractive combination of stiffness, strength, and ductility.
Flexible Paper Robots
Researchers have developed inexpensive robots that can stretch, bend and twist under control, and lift objects 120 times their own weight.
A Living Cartilage Scaffold
Professor Dong-An Wang and co-workers seek to revolutionize cartilage surgery through the development of a new type of surgical graft.
Who wants a defective solar cell?
Professor Bruce Clemens and co-workers have shown that the presence of defects in CZTS solar cells brings about an increase in solar cell efficiency, in contrast to the behavior of classic semiconductor materials. This could lead to the developmemt of a commercially-viable solar cell made of earth- abundant raw materials.
Analysis on the Wing: Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy on Copper Butterfly Wings
Scientists have mimicked the shape of a butterfly wing to improve the sensitivity of Raman Spectroscopy.
Printing Skin: An Inkjet for Tissue Engineering
Scientists in Lausanne have developed an inkjet printing system to produce artificial living tissue.
Beetle-mimetic Velcro?
Korean scientists present a new interlocking material based on the mechanism beetles use to lock away their wings.
Towards Artificial Photosynthesis for Solar Hydrogen Generation
Photosynthesis is considered the "Holy Grail" in the field of sustainable energy generation because it directly converts solar energy into storable fuel using nothing but water and carbon dioxide (CO2). Scientists have long tried to mimic the underlying natural...
