Autologous and allogeneic bone grafts are considered the gold standard when it comes to reconstructing bones, largely due to their bioactive compounds and osteoblastic cells that can generate new bone effectively. However, ...
A new smart material developed by researchers at the University of Waterloo is activated by both heat and electricity, making it the first ever to respond to two different stimuli.
Finding a 3D printable ink that conducts electricity, yet is strong, flexible and stretchable, has been a goal of materials scientists around the world since 3D printing began, says Daeha Joung, Ph.D., an assistant professor ...
Prof. Peng Chenhui's team from the School of Physics, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), realized the collective transfer and reconfigurable self-assembly of colloidal particles by combining the light-driven ...
Researchers from the National Graphene Institute (NGI) have created "intelligent" membranes whose "memory" can be used in areas like smart separation technology, wound management, drug delivery, sensors and memory devices.
Researchers from Tsinghua University synthesized porous yolk-shell NiO nanospheres (PYS-NiO NSs) via a solvothermal and subsequent calcination process of Ni-MOF. As the large specific surface areas and hollow porous nanostructures ...
Researchers at the University of Bayreuth present novel electrospun nonwovens in Science Advances that exhibit an unusual combination of high electrical conductivity and extremely low thermal conductivity.
Aramid fiber is known as "super fiber," or "golden silk," because even though its weight is equivalent to only 20% of the weight of steel, it is more than five times as strong and does not burn, even at 500°C. Aramid fiber ...
Rapid pregnancy and COVID-19 tests have a great advantage over other medical analyses: they are so simple that anyone can perform the test themselves, virtually anywhere. This is due to the robust principle behind these microfluidic ...
World-first 'phase change inks' that could transform how we heat and cool buildings, homes and cars—to achieve sophisticated 'passive climate' control—have been developed, with enormous potential to help reduce energy ...
