One Step Closer to the Commercialization of Fuel Cells
Wei Chen and co-workers control the thickness of a carbon shell encapsulating precious metal catalysts to yield efficient electrocatalysts.
Understanding Mouth Development
The mouth is essential for eating and has ancient origins. A new review looks at the evolution of the mouth and insights into the vertebrate mouth opening from the frog Xenopus laevis.
Use Zinc Oxide Flowers to Create Better Photocatalytic Properties
Researchers have studied low-dimensional nanoscale ZnO building blocks, such as 1D nanorods, 1D nanowires and 2D nanosheets. Recently it was found that mixing these materials with 3D hierarchical ZnO microstructures revealed special optical, electrical and catalytic properties.
Localization Properties of the Disordered XY Spin Chain
Researchers give a full account of results on localization properties for the Anderson model.
Single-Molecule Molecular Machines
Protein Science has published a Special Issue on Molecular Machines guest edited by Carlos Bustamante from the Laboratory of Single Molecule Biophysics at UC Berkeley. Each living cell, whether prokaryotic or eukaryotic, is a microscopic but complex structure. Its...
Well-Defined fluorinated copolymers via organometallic mediated radical polymerization
The synthesis of fluorinated copolymers via organometallic mediated radical polymerization is reported in a new Communication published in Macromolecular Rapid Communications.
Self-Learning Chip Composes Music
A brain-inspired, neuromorphic chip has the capability of self-learning and has been demonstrated the ability to compose music.
Directing the Self-assembly of Nanoparticles for Innovative Molecular Computing Applications
A directed self-assembly of gold nanoparticles may be employed for the design of molecular electronic networks for logic or memory applications.
