LiNbO3-silica glass ceramics: a promising alternative for frequency conversion?
Glass ceramics are of great interest for the development of optical elements with meter-scale dimensions for high power laser facilities.
Processing Method Shows Promise for Neural Implants
University of Texas researchers develop materials that are stiff for initial implantation, and then soften to better match the mechanical properties of brain tissue.
Newly modified nanoparticle opens window on future gene editing technologies
Researchers at Iowa State University demonstrate the ability to simultaneously deliver proteins and DNA into plant cells.
Hierarchical Electrohydrodynamic Structures for SERS
Hierarchical electrohydrodynamic pattern formation enables the fabrication of multiscale 3D structured arrays as SERS-active platforms.
Electrochemistry Reversibly Switches Optical Response
A novel metal deposition-based electrochromic device can realize three optical states in a single material—transparent, mirror and black.
Dispersion of Solid Metals into Powder Using Extreme Extrusion
Fine dispersion of bulk metals appears at very high extrusion rates and pressures. This phenomenon is interesting not only for material science, but also for the development of new technologies.
Mimicking Butterflies to Make Silica Thin Films
New silica microsphere films mimic the striking color display of the Morpho butterfly, with the added advantage of material flexibility.
