Researchers from MIT present an approach to make artificial muscles with nylon that bend, controllably, in any direction.
Genetically Modified Energy – How DNA Enhances Photoelectrochemical Solar Cells
In a recent study, researchers succeeded in applying chickpea and wheat DNA as bridging unit and thin tunneling layer at the TiO2/dye interface.
Programing Performance of Silk Fibroin Materials by Controlled Nucleation
As flexible photonics/electronics industries are going to take over the traditional industries, Bombyx mori silk will serve as a crucial material due to its capability of functionalization and re-engineering.
Topographical control of preosteoblast culture by shape memory foams
This study expands the potential applications of the SMP foam in tissue engineering.

Plastic Made from Orange Peel and CO2
Scientists from the University of Bayreuth produced a novel biobased raw material for a wide range of high-performance plastics
Bone-inspired Materials by Design
Design principles, and ways to manufacture them via additive manufacturing are studied, to achieve an amplification in mechanical properties of materials.
Conductive Polymeric Biomaterials
Different mechanisms for imparting conductivity to non-conductive polymeric biomaterials are discussed in a review by Patton et. al.
A novel probe for in vivo sialome imaging
Researchers in China have developed a novel probe for in vivo sialome imaging. Based on the click reaction the fluorophore is generated in situ.
