Developing transparent solar concentrators
A team of researchers at Michigan State University has developed a new type of transparent solar concentrator.
Improving polymer film fabrication
Melbourne reseachers develop method to fabricate chiral stationary phases with nanoengineered features.
Multifunctional nanocarriers for therapeutic immunology and diagnostics
A new class of iron oxide nanocarrier activates the immune system and serves as a contrast agent for multiple imaging techniques.
Easily functionalized DNA for better conductivity
Nanowires can be produced by pulling DNA over micropillar arrays, leaving a simple overcoating step to improve conductivity.
Crosslinking hydrogels for better micrometer cell manipulation
International researchers have reported reported a crosslinker – an activated-ester-type photocleavable crosslinker – to prepare photodegradable hydrogels.
Solving the MXene capacitive paradox
Entirely new family of conductive two-dimensional carbides and nitrides may lead to better energy storage.
Superhydrophobic nonwovens from naturally occurring polymers
a Japanese/German collaboration has succeeded in synthesising a biodegradable, hydrophobic polymer by modifying a naturally-occurring poly(amino acid) with a hydrophobic amino acid.
