Antonio Facchetti reviews the first edition of the Handbook of Organic Materials for Optical and (Opto)Electronic Devices.
Technology
Transverse mode localization in 3D deterministic aperiodic structures
Three-dimensional deterministic aperiodic structures are realized for the first time and studied with respect to their optical properties.
A Chemical Switch for Physical Release
Structural transformations of nanoscale boroxines allow the controlled release of guest molecules.
Improving radio reception by converting the waves to light
New approach to radio interference provides all-optical detection of micro- and radiowaves with noise mitigation 1000x better than existing methods.
"Living liquid crystals" created by Argonne researchers
Liquid crystal/Bacillus subtilis mix may have interesting applications for new material design and fabrication.
Deuterium changes the electronic properties of organic solar cells
Multidisciplinary ORNL team discovers unexpected effect of heavy hydrogen in organic solar cells.
US army funds new metallurgy project
WPI is lead institution on $7.4 million army project to design better metals for vehicles.
Improving plasmonic sensors to better detect biomolecules
Researchers combine nanoplasmonic architectures and interferometry to bring nanoscale biosensors to near-commercial levels of sensitivity.
Even more flexible metallic glass
Scientists are working toward even stronger and more elastic glass types which would fail in a ductile fashion instead of shattering.
Programmable metamaterial has custom vibration response
Vibration-damping material can also specifically conduct certain frequencies.
