Shaping Shape-Memory: Achieving active control of polymer shape
The Journal of Polymer Science Part B: Polymer Physics has published a special issue on shape-memory polymers.
A new paradigm for hybrid optical materials
In a new study led by the University of Adelaide in Australia, researchers have developed a versatile direct-doping approach to integrate UPNCs in glass. They discovered that the upconversion emissions of erbium ions can be used to diagnose the survival and dissolution fraction of doped UPNCs in glass.
Tiny microbots clean up water
Max Planck researchers have developed self-propelled tiny ‘microbots’ that can remove lead or organic pollutions from contaminated water.
Spectral Conversion for Artificial Photosynthesis
Photoluminescent spectral conversion as a promising route to increase the quantum yield in natural and artificial photosynthesis.
