Ultrahigh-Responsivity Hybrid Graphene–Perovskite Photodetectors
A group working on photodetectors has covered monolayer graphene with a thin layer of perovskite islands, leading to ultrahigh responsivity.
Block Copolymer Micelle Nanotubes via Template Wetting
A novel method was developed, in which block copolymer micelles can directly infiltrate into nanopores and 1D micellar nanotubes can be easily fabricated.
Shape Memory Liquid Crystalline Hydrogels
Amir H. Torbati and Patrick T. Mather present a new synthesis for orientationally ordered liquid crystalline hydrogels with shape memory characteristics.
Make better PEG hydrogels with help from silk fibroin
Scientists make highly customizable hybrid hydrogels from artificial and natural sources for biomedical applications.
Practical Nanowire-Based Flexile Electronics
A new solvothermal approach to synthesize ultrathin nanowires, with applications in flexile photodetectors, is demonstrated.
Charge correlations in cobaltates
Guo et al. reported on a systematic elastic neutron scattering study of the charge correlations in La2CoO4 as a function of Sr-doping.
Catching Circulating Tumor Cells
Interfaces to capture, detect, and analyze circulating tumor cells are reviewed, which give a valuable insight into tumor progression and metastasis.
Excitons in metal-halide perovskites
Menendez-Proupin et al. study excitons in metal-halide perovskites using the effective mass approximation providing better agreement with the experiment.
