How much does materials science stand to gain from Nature? Professor Ozin gives his take on the progress of biomimetics.
Results for "sensors"
Metabolite-responsive hydrogels for medical diagnostics
A hydrogel that can tell good from bad: this material can distinguish between normal and pathological levels of urate, a salt related to gout arthritis.
Detection of Explosives: An All-in-Fiber Chemical Sensor for Peroxide Vapors
Scientists report a new method for remote tracing of vapors escaping from the liquid-peroxide explosives used in terror bombing incidents.
Click coupled graphene: fabricating nanocomposites
Click coupled graphene sheets allow a high grafting ratio and extended applications.
Highly Unidirectional Emission from Ultrahigh-Q Microcavities
A new type of on-chip microcavities has been realized, which features both highly unidirectional emission and ultra-high-Q factors in the near infrared.
Large-Area Low-Cost Gold Nanostructures through Colloidal Nanolithography
Double split-ring resonators with optimized Fano resonances for refractive index sensing could be realised by hole-mask colloidal nanolithography.
Researchers Develop New, Less Expensive Nanolithography Technique
Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a new nanolithography technique that is less expensive than other approaches and can be used to create technologies with biomedical applications.
