Room temperature liquid metal structures- free article access
Researchers have developed three-dimensional printing technology and techniques to create free-standing structures made of liquid metal at room temperature.
MIT researchers develop optical transistor
Researchers describe the experimental realization of an optical switch controlled by a single photon, allowing light to govern the transmission of light.
Metallic bubble wrap superior to traditional alternatives
Bubble wrap is lighter, stronger and more flexible than sheet metal and more heat- and chemical-resistant than plastic or other polymer-based bubble wraps.
Startups in materials science: interview with Jeffrey Carbeck
What materials discoveries had an impact on business the past 10 years? How will we do materials science startups in the future? Jeff Carbeck explains.
New pickling tape simplifies treatment of aluminum
New tape is safer than existing treatment methods because there is no rinsing stage and hence no need for complicated wastewater disposal.
Book Review: Biosensor Nanomaterials
Biosensor nanomaterials, edited by Songjun Li, Jagdish Singh, He Li, and Ipsita A. Banerjee, reviewed by Professor Luisa Torsi from the University of Bari.
One-dimensional wires with suppressed conductivity
Researchers create perfect one-dimensional molecular wires in which the electrical conductivity can almost entirely be suppressed by a weak magnetic field
Super-sensitive light sensor from molybdenite
An EPFL team has built a prototype for an image sensor based on the semi-conducting properties of molybdenite.
Guillemot eggshells have unique self-cleaning nanostructure
