Ultrasensitive Photodetector for Thermal Imaging and Sensing
A team of researchers design broadband field-effect phototransistors based on molybdenum disulfide. The photodetector has the ability to detect very weak optical signals and is promising for applications in thermal imaging and sensing.
Batch-of-One Meets Mass-Production
New transport system is pledging to boosts overall equipment effectiveness
Future Wearable Devices: Responsive, Self-Powered, Flexible
Next-generation electronics should be wearable, versatile, and energy-efficient. A new sensor systems combined with a triboelectric nanogenerator provides an excellent solution.
Self-Folding Shells: A 3D Recording Device for Single Live Cells
Using residual stress-based self-folding, a multielectrode shell wraps around primary heart cells and functions as an electrical shell-like recording device
Free Access: The Inaugural Issue of Advanced Theory and Simulations
All articles of the recently published first issue of Advanced Theory and Simulations are freely available for a limited time
Data-Driven Efficiency Enhancement
Alco Bio Fuel digitally transform their way of operations. Now, software helps to monitor and fine-tune performance of the generator.
A Rapidly Self-Healing Polymer for Wearable Devices
Researchers from the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology report a novel self-healing polymer that undergoes rapid self-healing by aromatic disulfide metathesis. More than 75% of the initial mechanical properties are restored within only 2 hours, making it a promising material for the wearable electronics industry.
From Solar Panel To Suntan Lotion: Bright New Research on Zinc Films
Avery easy, fast, and scalable one-step process for synthesis and deposition of porous ZnO nanocrystalline film by low-temperature atmospheric pressure plasma is presented.
Nanogels Reveal The Truth: Genuine or Fake?
A marking protocol is developed in which nanogels are used as a smart biocompatible ink. These interactive markers offer new solutions for security and traceability applications.
