Researchers introduce a new device concept for electroluminescent displays, which does not require transparent electrodes and can be used as remotely readable, spatially-responsive sensors that emit light in response to the accumulation and distribution of materials on the device surface.
Hydrogel Microparticles Protecting against Counterfeit and Deteriorated Products
Multi-functional, biodegradable hydrogel microparticles that provide information on the authenticity and the potential deterioration of a tagged food or pharmaceutical formulation directly prior to consumption/use is presented.
Mechanical and Piezoelectric Properties of PZT and LNKN Ceramic Foams
In this work multifunctional composites of porous piezoelectric foams made of lead zirconate titanate are compared to ecologically beneficial lead-free lithium sodium potassium niobate.
