Switching Liquid Repellent Surfaces
Researchers from Pennsylvania State University, USA, have now revealed a magnetically transformable surface that can reversibly switch between the lotus and the pitcher plant modes
Highlights of the MRS Fall Meeting 2016, Boston
Society is at a crossroads with many topics such as sustainability, energy, medicine, and healthcare. Material science offers many solutions to these problems.
Magnetoelectric Robots Target Disease
Salvador Pané and colleagues demonstrate core–shell magnetoelectric nanowires that can be triggered using different magnetic fields for targeted drug delivery to kill cancer cells.
Spontaneous Formation of Bicolored Janus Particles
Shin-Hyun Kim and his coworkers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have developed a simple method to create bicolored Janus particles via phase separation of polymers in emulsion drops.
An ab initio Study of Carbon-Induced Ordering in Iron-Based Alloys
The energetic consequences of having iron, manganese or aluminum atoms sit at certain positions close to carbon are studied by performing first-principles quantum-chemical calculations.
Analytical Trident in the Fight Against Glioma
Researchers present the use of Au@MIL-88(Fe) nanoparticles that serve as triple-modality imaging agents, in CT, MRI, and PA imaging of gliomas.
Gecko inspires pick-and-place gripper
Cross-linked networks of liquid crystal polymers (LCNs) are used to regulate adhesion through stimuli responsive back-scrolling and self-peeling, to design a multi-legged gecko gripper.
Fertile electronic flatlands: carrier multiplication in graphene
The remarkable electronic properties of graphene open up new carrier relaxation channels that can result in a significant multiplication of optically excited carriers.
