A group working on photodetectors has covered monolayer graphene with a thin layer of perovskite islands, leading to ultrahigh responsivity.
Technology
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.
