Infrared-Driven Generation of Hydrogen Gas
IR-driven transfer of plasmon-induced hot electrons in a nonmetallic branched heterostructure, by combining ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy with theoretical simulations, is demonstrated for the first time.
New Standards in Solids Analysis
Young start-up team develops a promising new reference materials for direct microanalysis of solids.
Microwave Links from Cellular Communication Networks As Rain Gauges
A novel way to measure rainfall, namely using microwave links from cellular communication networks as path-average rain gauges, is discussed.
Mix and Match Nanobiosensor Design using Self-Assembled DNA Nanostructures
DNA origami nanobiosensor: The binding of the bioanalyte (left) with the ssDNA-associated bioreceptor (center) on the surface of the DNA origami is transduced as a measurable change in properties (right) that can be recognized and quantified by a detector.
A New Bionic Skin; Makes Sense
The design of a new bionic skin that is sensitive to incredibly small changes in pressure and vibration is reported.
LiFi: Internet Connection through Light
