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.
Light-Driven Polymer Actuators with Prestored Strain Energy
Researchers demonstrate a strategy using a photoresponsive malleable actuator with mechanical strain energy stored in the polymer beforehand.
The New Age in Clinical Digital Pathology
This Special Issue in Cytometry Part A reports the latest advances in approaches used to identify cancerous and/or metastatic tissues.
Throughfall Drop Size Distributions: A Review and Prospectus for Future Research
Whathappens under a tree, or in the forest, when it rains? The answer to this fundamental question has occupied generations of forest hydrologists, forest ecologists, and biogeochemists.
60 Years of Living Anionic Polymerization
Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics showcases recent progress in living anionic polymerization.
Oscillating Polymer Brush Controls Chemical Wave Direction
The action of a self-oscillating polymer gel controls the direction of fluid flow within a confined space using a system of polymer brush pentagons.
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...
Taking Color Inspiration from Evolutionary-Optimized White Beetle Wings
Researchers from Switzerland, Germany, UK and USA explore the local structure responsible for the vibrant white color of Cyphochilus beetles.
