(a) High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) characterization of a suspended MoSe2 monolayer at a dose rate of 5.8 × 105 e-nm-2-s-1. The isolated Se (iSe) vacancies, isolated Se ...

But now, Spanish researchers have taken a step towards realistic in vitro analysis of biomaterials; their findings are reported in Polymer Testing [DOI: 10.1016/j.polymertesting.2023.108189]. The ...

Instead, Shulamit Levenberg and her team fabricated biodegradable poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) tubes into which they drilled triangular arrays of micro-channels, 50 microns in diameter, using a ...

Many materials display radiative cooling at night. “The key challenge is to achieve cooling to below ambient temperatures while under direct sunlight,” Gan says. “One must simultaneously minimize the ...

Materials Today is a community dedicated to the creation and sharing of materials science knowledge and experience. Supported by Elsevier, we publish high impact peer-reviewed journals, organize ...

Below 33°C (91°F), this hydrogel acts like a sponge to absorb water from a source such as a lake. But when the hydrogel is removed from the water and heated by sunlight to a temperature above 33°C, it ...

The novel electrochemical transistor is based on a new kind of electronic polymer and a vertical, instead of planar, architecture. It conducts both electricity and ions, and is stable in air. The ...

Poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) foams and PLGA/titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticle-filled composite foams (porosity > 90%) were produced by thermally induced solid–liquid phase separation (TIPS) ...

Researchers at North Carolina (NC) State University have developed a stretchable strain sensor with an unprecedented combination of sensitivity and range, allowing it to detect even minor changes in ...

Rice University researchers have developed a method to predict how crystals take shape from their internal chemistry, even when the crystal lacks symmetry. This representation of a silver nitrate ...

Inspired by living things, researchers at the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) set out to create a plastic that is hard and rigid in some places and soft and stretchy in others­. Their ...

Yang-Kook Sun is currently a distinguished professor at Hanyang University in Seoul. He is a leading scientist in the battery research field with outstanding records and achievements. After receiving ...
