A nanoprinting strategy to produce nano and microscale lines and components for electronic applications.
Antibacterial Black Phosphorus Film for Infection Prevention
Researchers produce an antibacterial film for long-term disinfection and infection prevention using black phosphorous nanosheets (BPS) as photosensitizers for singlet oxygen production.
New Transistor Architecture Enables Ultrahigh-Res Visualization
Researchers from the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Saudi Arabia, have developed a wavy architecture for thin-film transistors using amorphous oxide zinc oxide (ZnO) as the active channel material. The device achieves both high resolution and fast frame rate display technology.
High-Performance Heterogeneous Catalyst with High Water Dispersibility
Researchers from the Suzhou Key Laboratory of Green Chemical Engineering, Soochow University, and from the State Key Laboratory of Molecular Engineering of Polymers, Fudan University, develop a one-step, solvent-free method to prepare a high-performance heterogeneous catalyst. The cobalt-based catalyst is highly dispersible in water and is effective for the tandem sodium borohydride dehydrogenation and nitrobenzene hydrogenation at room temperature.
Selective and Versatile Membrane for Nanofiltration Applications
Suzana P. Nunes, Klaus-Viktor Peinemann, and co-workers from the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia describe a selective membrane with functionalized nanochannels formed by self-assembly of a hydrophobic block copolymer for nanofiltration applications.
