This month’s Advanced Engineering Materials cover and top papers.
Micro-/Nanotechnology
Li Storage Mechanism in Graphene/MoS2 Composites
The electrochemical performance of graphene/MoS2 heterostructures is optimised and the kinetics of their lithium storage mechanism are elucidated.
3D Cell Culture for Biological-Relevant, Neuroscientific, In Vitro Environments
The colonization of a 3D engineered scaffold is investigated, in the perspective of producing realistic 3D environments for cell culture
Cyclodextrin Films with Fast Solvent Transport and Shape-Selective Permeability
Researchers from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology design a high-performance filtration membrane made exclusively of cyclodextrin.
Hydrophobicity the Key to Asymmetric Metal Nanoparticle Synthesis
Creating asymmetric nanoparticles is harder than standard colloidal particle synthesis. Here, hydrophobicity unlocks a variety of metal nanoparticle types.
“Why Are We Interested in Monocytes?”
Various views on the same cell are discussed in a recent Special Issue on Monocytes and Marcophages.
Multiplex FRET Biosensor Simplifies Nucleic Acid Detection
Time-gated FRET-based biosensors allow the quantification of multiple nucleic acids at low nanomolar concentrations using just a single donor–acceptor pair.
2D Chalcogenide Nanoplate Assemblies for Thermoelectric Applications
Sb2Te3 nanoplates decorated with two-dimensional chalcogenide self-assembled Ag, with spiral growth.
Monolithic Low-Density Porous Au
A series of monolithic porous Au with different pore sizes were successfully synthesized.
Breathing Glass: How To Save The Environment With Polymers
Concept of ‘breathing glass’: The biobased poly(limonene carbonate) (PLimC) unifies sustainability, carbon capture and utilisation of carbon dioxide in one material.
