Engineering Digest – Featuring Nature’s Design Strategies, Soft Robotics and More
This month’s Advanced Engineering Materials covers and top papers.
Microcyclic Structure Formation using Silver Nanopores
Gold nanoparticle assembly gets a little help from its friends: functionalised gold forms microscale structures via a guided silver aggregation strategy.
Use Zinc Oxide Flowers to Create Better Photocatalytic Properties
Researchers have studied low-dimensional nanoscale ZnO building blocks, such as 1D nanorods, 1D nanowires and 2D nanosheets. Recently it was found that mixing these materials with 3D hierarchical ZnO microstructures revealed special optical, electrical and catalytic properties.
Oscillating Polymer Brush Controls Chemical Wave Direction
The action of a self-oscillating polymer gel controls the direction of fluid flow within a confined space using a system of polymer brush pentagons.
Single-Molecule Molecular Machines
Protein Science has published a Special Issue on Molecular Machines guest edited by Carlos Bustamante from the Laboratory of Single Molecule Biophysics at UC Berkeley. Each living cell, whether prokaryotic or eukaryotic, is a microscopic but complex structure. Its...
