This years’ EUROMAT2017 conference will take place in Thessaloniki, Greece, 17-22 September.
Micro-/Nanotechnology
Painting Silk with Water and Light
A naturally occurring structural protein (silk fibroin) is used to generate a large inverse opal. Selective exposure to water and/or light can change silk’s conformation thus painting different structural colors.
Plasma Pretreatment Processes Improve Plastic Coatings Twofold
A new study shows that propanol-based plasma pretreatment of plastics not only improves adhesion of coatings to plastics but improves the coatings themselves as well.
Silver Nanowire-Coated Textiles for Cold Weather Clothing
Energized fabrics could keep soldiers warm and battle-ready in extreme climatic operating environments.
Non-Toxic Targeted Gene Therapy in Obese Rats
Obesity is a growing epidemic around the world.
Small Changes, Big Results: New Plasma Jet Design Shows Improved Plasma Treatment
A new study shows promising improvement in plasma treatment by using only small modifications in the plasma jet set-up.
Nature’s Nanoparticles for Improving Gene Transfer
A cryo-transmission electron micrograph of a new gene delivery system called exo-AAV. The adeno-associated virus vector (AAV) is packaged within a lipid bubble called an exosome. Multiple AAV vectors can be observed as dark structures inside the larger spherical exosome structure.
2D Nanostructured Materials As Gas Sensors – A Review
2D nanostructured materials as promising gas-sensing materials for advanced sensors.
Plasma-Processed Air To Keep Your Fruit and Veggies Fresh
Researchers present an experimental set-up which generates plasma processed air to wash and dry off fresh and fresh-cut produce.
More Hydrogen for Less: Engineering the Catalytic Performance of MoS2
Hydrogen won’t be a viable fuel source without a replacement catalyst for platinum. This MoS2 hybrid looks set to provide some realistic competition.
