Biomanufacturing in Zero-G
Science fact catches up with science fiction: by exploiting magnetic levitation, biomanufacturing – creating living 3D structures – is now possible in zero gravity. Utkan Demirci discusses how this works.
Multifunctional Titania Now Ready for Medical Imaging and Photodynamic Therapy?
Multifunctional gadolinium-doped titania nanoparticles perform combined diagnostics and treament without compromising the advantages of their components.
Perovskite Perspectives: Jingbi You – Stoichiometry for Better Performance
Jingbi You explains how precisely adjusting the stoichiometry of planar architectures can affect the performance of perovskite devices, toward a PCE of over 21%.
Ion Migration Suppressed in Mixed Perovskite Solar Cells
Phase competition in mixed perovskites can be resolved by this dual ion exchange process, which passivates grain boundaries and suppresses ion migration.
3D Graphene Network Electrodes for Impressive Sodium Storage
Sodium is the new lithium: a facile new method to produce graphene composite electrodes may help solve the sodium transport problem.
Nickel a Rich Prospect for Cathode Commercialisation?
Jaephil Cho and co-workers assess the commercial potential of nickel-rich cathode materials, informing decisions on industrial uptake of these materials.
Advanced Materials Interfaces: Enter the ‘Hall of Fame’
