The interaction of matter with light has fascinated scientists for centuries. The field of polymer science has not been immune to this enchantment and progress in new controlled ways to use light to produce new materials is rapidly evolving to more sophisticated systems.
Scientists have studied the valley dynamics of excitons in different TMDCs using time-resolved Kerr rotation (TRKR) at low temperatures.
An easy, step-by-step filtration forms energy-storing membranes with good mechanical stability, taking the sandwiched form of rGO-TiO2/rGO/rGO-TiO2.
Chimeric RNAs can be generated by not only chromosomal rearrangements at the DNA level, but also intergenic splicing at the RNA level. Chimeric RNAs are demonstrated to be not the elusive features of cancer cells, but also present in normal physiology and with diverse functions.
Physicists have developed a thin nanomaterial with superconducting properties. Below -200°C these materials conduct electricity without loss, levitate magnets and can screen magnetic fields.
Researchers develop a liquid crystalline elastomer robot fueled completely by visible light. The robot is capable of biomimetic locomotion resembling a caterpillar and can be operated directly on human skin.
