Oscillating Polymer Brush Controls Chemical Wave Direction
The action of a self-oscillating polymer gel controls the direction of fluid flow within a confined space using a system of polymer brush pentagons.
Single-Molecule Molecular Machines
Protein Science has published a Special Issue on Molecular Machines guest edited by Carlos Bustamante from the Laboratory of Single Molecule Biophysics at UC Berkeley. Each living cell, whether prokaryotic or eukaryotic, is a microscopic but complex structure. Its...
Taking Color Inspiration from Evolutionary-Optimized White Beetle Wings
Researchers from Switzerland, Germany, UK and USA explore the local structure responsible for the vibrant white color of Cyphochilus beetles.
Flexible Graphene Energy Storage Membrane
An easy, step-by-step filtration forms energy-storing membranes with good mechanical stability, taking the sandwiched form of rGO-TiO2/rGO/rGO-TiO2.
Ultrathin Superconducting Film
Physicists have developed a thin nanomaterial with superconducting properties. Below -200°C these materials conduct electricity without loss, levitate magnets and can screen magnetic fields.
Tiny Caterpillar-Inspired Robot Inches Closer to Human-Friendly Light Robotics
Researchers develop a liquid crystalline elastomer robot fueled completely by visible light. The robot is capable of biomimetic locomotion resembling a caterpillar and can be operated directly on human skin.
Creating Touchpads with a Spray
Researchers added low-cost touch sensing to objects of almost any shape.
