International Year of Light: Whispering Gallery Mode Microcavities
The fundamentals and the advances in the fabrication methods of whispering gallery mode cavities, as well as their application prospects are presented in this review article.
A Fluorescent Rotaxane: Molecular Shuttle and Sensor Gel
The fluorescent rotaxane is a molecular shuttle sensitive to temperature, pH, and solvent polarity changes. It forms a gel which changes its fluorescence properties upon acidic/basic gas exposure and can be turned into a liquid by shaking, heating, and by adding anions.
Optical spectroscopy reveals biexcitons in monolayer tungstenite
A group of scientists at the University of Regensburg have studied the photoluminescence of gated monolayer WS2 flakes and identified the biexciton emission
Polypept(o)ides: hybrid materials with promising applications in nanomedicine
Matthias Barz and Kristina Klinker provide a first overview concerning the work on polypept(o)ides.
Custom Fit: Self-Wrapping 3D Electronics
A team of researchers at Stanford University has developed shape-controlled, self-wrapping electronics based on carbon nanotubes.
Facile, Green, and Tunable: Synthesizing Catalytically Active Multimetallic Mesoporous Spheres
A facile, green, and tunable synthesis for mesoporous spheres consisting of noble metals is developed. The spheres are potential catalysts in fuel cells.
