Introducing a Zinc Oxide-PTFE Nanocomposite Varistor by Cold Sintering
It is shown that polymer such as Teflon can be distributed around each grain of ZnO, and this, in turn, allows for use to form a composite material with an electrical conduction that is blocked at low fields and conducts at high field through the quantum mechanical process known as “tunneling”.
Special Issue: Fats and Oils as Renewable Feedstock for the Chemical Industry
Fats and oils derived from plants, microorganisms and animals are an excellent feedstock for the “green” and renewable chemical industry.
Macromolecular Bioscience: Happy Birthday Karel!
The current special issue in Macromolecular Bioscience is published on the occasion of Professor Karel Ulbrich’s 70th birthday
Light-Responsive Pens: Actuated Soft Materials for Nanolithography
Local control of pens in a large-scale pen array can be achieved by using a nanotube composite that is photo-responsive to fabricate each individual pen.
Liquid Letters
A simple, robust, and versatile way of molding all-liquid objects with potential applications in materials and life sciences.
Structural Insights of Glycogen Metabolism in Exercise and Health
An integrative approach of modeling and hydrogen-deuterium exchange helps to describe the enzyme that regulates glycogen levels in muscles and liver.
Free Access: The Inaugural Issue of Advanced Theory and Simulations
All articles of the recently published first issue of Advanced Theory and Simulations are freely available for a limited time
A Unique Molding Process for All-Liquid Objects
A team of researchers develop a unique molding process for generating all-liquid structures via interfacial jamming of cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) surfactants. The structures have long-term stability and can adapt or respond to external stimuli, allowing for potential applications in encapsulation, sensors, and liquid electronic devices.
