Micro-/Nanotechnology
A novel 14-chamber human body-on-a-chip device
Researchers describe a novel “body-on-a-chip” device that consists of 14 interconnected compartments, each representing a different organ of the human body.
Plasmon-mediated photocatalysis – Pd nanoparticles in a double role
Pd nanosheets function both as broadband light absorbers and as synthetic catalysts for the dehydrogenation of formic acid to hydrogen and oxygen.
High-Performance Multifunctional Graphene-PLGA Fibers
Researchers develop conducting graphene–PLGA fiber electrode that promotes muscle cell growth, and that could stimulate muscle regeneration.
Three-dimensional block copolymer nanostructures
Jiun-Tai Chen and his team at NCTU in Taiwan developed a novel method to fabricate three-dimensional block copolymer nanostructures.
Advanced Particle Characterization Techniques
Luis Liz-Marzán and Sara Bals present a collection of selected contributions by different researchers who are recognised as experts in the field of structural characterization as well as on optical and catalytic properties of nanoparticles.
Microwave recipe for size-based control of properties of metal-organic perovskites
Researchers from Florida State University have used a two-pronged approach to achieve rapid synthesis of these metal-organic perovskite-like multiferroics.

Highlights from the 11th International Symposium on Polymer Therapeutics
Advanced Optical Materials Top 5 – July 2016
The month’s top articles from the field of nanooptics, optoelectronics, optical devices, detectors & sensors, micro/nano resonators and more.
Anisotropic Conductive Films by Shear-Flow
Anisotropic conductive films can be produced by shear flow that induces the self-assembly of conductive fillers (like carbon nanotubes, graphene or inexpensive carbon black) into parallel stripes in a polymer matrix.
