The pathway may help explain why patients develop vision loss from “wet” or advanced “dry” macular degeneration. In a study published December 4 in the Proceedings of the National Academy…
Rice study uncovers new ways to make ordered wafer-scale chiral carbon nanotube architectures. Chiral materials interact with light in very precise ways that are useful for building better displays, sensors…
Fraunhofer IZM manages to automate measuring optical in-glass waveguides. The use of glass as substrate in electronics manufacturing enables the additional transmission of optical signals through the substrate material. This…
…to replace synthetic plastic films. Materials with enhanced structure derived from crustaceans and seaweed could be part of a next-generation answer to the challenge of replacing petroleum-based plastic films, according…
The one-step fabrication process rapidly produces miniature chemical reactors that could be used to detect diseases or analyze substances. MIT researchers have used 3D printing to produce self-heating microfluidic devices,…
– a step towards more sustainable superconductor applications. The study by Politecnico di Milano, Chalmers University of Technology, and Sapienza University of Rome, published in Nature Communications. Taking a significant…
