Electronic Skin: Bridging the Gap for Human–Machine Interaction
In this comprehensive review, the main research routes and technologies that are being followed to deliver high-performance electronic skin are discussed.
Bioaccumulation and Self-Assembly in Live Cells
Researchers demonstrate that phenazine compounds can bioaccumulate and self-assemble in macrophages and epithelial cells.
How to survive and succeed at grad school
Getting a PhD is the first big step towards a career in academia. Hints and tips for grad school are presented in Advanced Science.
Non-Toxic and Efficient: New Developments for Polymer Solar Cells
A team of US and Chinese scientists has demonstrated a new, nonhalogenated solvent system to produce high performance polymer solar cells.
Monitoring Hypoxia with an Ir-Complex Nanoprobe
An Ir-complex modified nanoprobe to sensitively monitor hypoxia in cancer cells without interfering autofluorescence is developed.
Better batteries with organic polymer cathodes
Development of novel, high-energy organic cathode paves the way for new generation of rechargeable Li-organic batteries.
A Flexible and Sensitive miRNA Biosensor
Low concentrations (10 × 10−15 M) of the disease biomarker microRNA-21 (miRNA-21) can be detected by a flexible biosensor.
A Fluorescent Rotaxane: Molecular Shuttle and Sensor Gel
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.
Learning from the cactus: Artificial water-collecting spines
Artificial cactus spines, which can collect fog from the air, have been constructed by a research group from Beihang University. This water-harvesting method is of great interest in a world where water is becoming more scarce.
