Nano-Architecture in Nature: Teeth Without Minerals
The unmineralized teeth of the giant keyhole limpet are shown to have mechanical properties similar to those of mineralized mammalian bones.
Using “DNA Flowers” as Carriers for Protein Delivery
In-situ assembled flower-shaped DNA constructs can be used for an efficient intracellular protein delivery.
3D-Printed Transparent Glass
3D-printed transparent glass is prepared using a two-step method that shows promise for the creation of glass optics as well as intricate glass structures.
Feeling the Pulse with Printed PLEDs
Accurate pulse and oxygenation data can be obtained through multicolor PLEDs on one flexible substrate fabricated by a surface energy patterning assisted blade coating technique.
Flexible Hard Coating
An optically transparent epoxy-siloxane molecular hybrid material that simultaneously exhibits glass-like wear resistance and strength, plastic-like modulus and a high modulus of resilience is developed by Dongchan Jang, Byeong-Soo Bae and co-workers.
Functionalized Silk Fibroin Films as a Platform for Optical Diffraction-Based Sensing Applications
A set of biocompatible, biodegradable, and biofunctionalizable diffractive optical elements (DOEs) using silk proteins as the building materials are reported by Zhendong Tao, Tiger H. Tao and co-workers.
Gold Nanocups: Complex Morphology, Simple Fabrication Strategy
Thermal dewetting of gold, which is sandwiched between the yolk and shell, leads to the desired nanocup morphology.
Stretchable Ink for Flexible Electronic Fabrics
When fabric stretches, printed patterns crack and separate. This new conductive ink maintains the integrity of printed circuits for electronic textiles.
