The pioneer of silk-based materials, David Kaplan has been working tirelessly to give us a deeper understanding of this fascinating material.
Metallic Metasurface: How to Stay Under The Radar?
Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have prepared all-metallic metasurfaces as wide-angle microwave diffusers.
Stress-Induced mRNP Granules: Form and Function of P-bodies and Stress Granules
In response to stress, cells must quickly reprogram gene expression to adapt and survive. This is achieved in part by altering levels of mRNAs and their translation into proteins.
Printable Water Sensor
A Spanish-Israeli team of scientists developed a new, versatile plastic-composite sensor that can detect tiny amounts of water. The 3D printable material is cheap, flexible and non-toxic and: it changes the colour.
Tumor-Targeting Nanoprobe with a Novel Cell Membrane Permeability Mechanism [Video]
A team of researchers develop a graphene-based tumor cell nuclear targeting fluorescent nanoprobe (GTTN) with a cell membrane permeability targeting mechanism.
Minimally-Invasive Electrodes for Real-Time Transdermal Biosensing
A real-time, in vivo, and minimally-invasive transdermal biosensing system for hydrogen peroxide monitoring is developed.
Optimizing Electrodes for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells [Video]
Low-cost strategies to tailor the microstructure of solid oxide fuel cell electrodes are discussed, providing a fast and efficient way to evaluate new electrode materials.
The Future of Electrical Power
Gallium nitride as a potential alternative to current silicon-based electronics.
Soft Sensors for Human Motion Capture
Sensors that are promising for motion capture, and the development of health monitoring devices, surgical instruments, and human–machine interaction devices.
Lens-free Augmented Reality
Leti has developed a novel retinal-projection concept for augmented reality (AR) uses based on a combination of integrated optics and holography.
