Liquid interface allows multiple interactions for detection
A liquid interface has the unique capability to provide a common meeting point for hydrophobic, hydrophilic and airborne species, allowing them all to interact.
Carbon nanotube broadband polarisers
Cole et al. report the fabrication of free-standing, horizontally aligned carbon nanotube membranes.
The global energy transition – do we have a Plan B?
What can we do if the IPCC’s response to climate change – assessment of risk, vulnerability, mitigation, adaptation and cost – fails to deliver?
Polyolefin catalysis and materials: a special issue dedicated to Prof. Minoru Terano
Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics, on the occasion of Prof. Minoru Terano’s 60th birthday, has published a special issue on the continuing innovation in polyolefin catalysis and materials.
Are single-walled carbon nanotubes derived from a zigzag graphene ribbon?
Researchers report that SWCNTs are tubular graphene in a unique armchair configuration, resulting from the growth of a zigzag graphene ribbon.
Hybrid graphene–giant nanocrystal quantum dot assemblies
New work shows that new class of nanocrystals coupled to graphene causes bi-excitons to experience recombination and simultaneous emission of photon pairs.
