Cloak of Inv sib ity
A true invisibility cloak would encompass an object, and manipulate light, in a manner such that it traveled around the object, rather than reflecting off it. A recent paper reports some exciting progress toward such a design.
Infrared-Driven Generation of Hydrogen Gas
IR-driven transfer of plasmon-induced hot electrons in a nonmetallic branched heterostructure, by combining ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy with theoretical simulations, is demonstrated for the first time.
Professor Helmuth Möhwald 1946-2018
The Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces mourns for the loss of a long-standing founding director.
Thermal Insulation: As Stealthy as a Polar Bear
Replicating the hollow structure of polar bear hairs allows an insulating material to provide thermal management with stealth applications.
Optic Imaging to Understand the Healing of Diabetic Wounds
A team of North American researchers demonstrated a label-free and more direct way to observe and quantify microvascular and metabolic healing mechanisms, and the biological response to a topical treatment, utilizing a multimodal microscope equipped with OCT and FLIM.
Cilia-Inspired Smart Surfaces
Cilia-inspired smart surfaces that sweep micro/nanometer-scale substances in a desired direction could inspire future drug-delivery systems and medical technologies.
Advanced Composite Material Technology
TenCate Advanced Composites show new composite material technology for aerospace and high performance industrial markets.
Bending Sensor Foils
A sensor foil made from polymers withstands bending to a radius of 11 mm, and elongation by 1.4% without losing functionality.
Sowing the First Seeds for Edible Electronics
The first seeds towards non-invasive edible electronics are sown.
