A highly stretchable, transparent, conductive entangled graphene mesh network (EGMN) is developed by a team researchers at Yonsei University, South Korea. The device is mechanically durable, and electrically and thermally stable, even in harsh environmental conditions.
Corrugation Reinforced Composites: A Method for Filling Holes in Material–Property Space
This work illustrates the importance and utility of considering the geometry and arrangement of the components of a composite material in addition to the properties of the component materials and shows how simply the design of the architecture can lead to accessing new desirable combinations of properties.
Antioxidants: Wonder Drugs or Quackery?
What is really an antioxidant?
A Potent Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia Agent for Cancer Treatment
Researchers develop a new anticancer agent composed of magnesium shallow-doped iron oxide superparamagnetic nanoparticles (SPNPs). The magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MNFH) agent is highly biocompatible and is able to completely eradicate Hep3B-induced tumors.
Initiated Chemical Vapor Deposition Advances for Device Applications
Significant implications of and recent progress made in iCVD-based technologies in three fields: electronic devices, surface engineering, and biomedical applications are discussed.
Cells in Microgravity
In their review in BioEssays, Mariano Bizzarri et al. discuss how commitment of cell specification is constrained by physical cues.
Photothermal Synergistic Catalysis for Efficient Carbon Dioxide Conversion
A vibrant new catalyst platform for harnessing abundant solar-energy to produce high-value hydrocarbons from a CO2 feedstock is demonstrated.
Food and Lifestyle Behavior – Do We See an Impact of Epigenetic Burden of Chronic Disease?
Increasing consumption of western and low fiber diets, smoking or just exposure to tobacco smoke, harmful use of alcohol, physical inactivity, and environmental pollutants may have programed the human epigenome for higher NCCDs risk.
Successfully Detecting Cows’ Milk Allergen
Advances in detecting a certain milk protein could help distinguish between the commonly confused dairy allergy and lactose intolerance.
UV Responsive Bio-based Polymer from Broccoli Seed Oil
Researchers from France develop a new UV responsive polymer from broccoli seed oil.
