Future Wearable Devices: Responsive, Self-Powered, Flexible
Next-generation electronics should be wearable, versatile, and energy-efficient. A new sensor systems combined with a triboelectric nanogenerator provides an excellent solution.
Self-Healing of a Confined Phase Change Memory Device : One Step Closer to Storage Class Memory
Self-healing of a phase change memory device with a metallic surfactant layer opens up new pathways in storage class memory.
Biomanufacturing in Zero-G
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.
Bone Repair: A Breaking Story
Researchers in Barcelona have proposed a new mechanism for bone repair. They hope that the work might pave the way for advances in self-healing prostheses.

Special AM30 Symposium at NANO2018 in Hong Kong.
Smart Window Coatings for Room-Temperature Applications
A hybrid thermochromic window coating with excellent visible transmittance and thermochromic performance at room temperature, opens new directions in plasmonic coatings.
Shape Shifting–3D Self-Shaping for Nanoresolution Architectures
Complex micro and nanodevices are fabricated using a simple strategy that enables sophisticated architectures to be produced.
A Unique Molding Process for All-Liquid Objects
A team of researchers develop a unique molding process for generating all-liquid structures via interfacial jamming of cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) surfactants. The structures have long-term stability and can adapt or respond to external stimuli, allowing for potential applications in encapsulation, sensors, and liquid electronic devices.
