A series of light-actinide-embedded coinage metal superatomic models are designed and revealed an interesting dual nature in superatomic bonding for protactinium, uranium, neptunium, and plutonium.
The burgeoning development and sustained production of advances in the booming field of solar-to-energy conversion have inspired a Special Issue specifically dedicated to “Artificial Photosynthesis: Mimicking Nature for Renewable Energy Production” – guest editors Wee-Jun Ong, Zhiqun Lin and Kazunari Domen.
In their review in BioEssays, Karl Duderstadt and colleagues challenge the long-held view that DNA replication follows a single highly reproducible sequence of molecular events.
New transport system is pledging to boosts overall equipment effectiveness
Science fact catches up with science fiction: by exploiting magnetic levitation, biomanufacturing – creating living 3D structures – is now possible in zero gravity. Utkan Demirci discusses how this works.
Multifunctional gadolinium-doped titania nanoparticles perform combined diagnostics and treament without compromising the advantages of their components.
A team of Dutch scientist report the use of ultrasound modulated optical tomography (UOT) with heterodyne parallel detection to locally sense and image blood flow deep inside a highly scattering medium.
State-of-the-art harvesting materials and structures are presented with a focus on characterization, fabrication, modeling and simulation, and durability and reliability.
The 2017 Fall Meeting of the Materials Research Society (MRS) took place in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, from November 26 – December 1. This year’s conference featured 55 technical symposia, eleven tutorial sessions, four poster sessions, and 241 exhibitors. The...
