A new process enables printing of nanometer-scale quartz glass structures directly onto semiconductor chips. A hybrid organic-inorganic polymer resin is used as feedstock material for 3D printing of silicon dioxide.
A novel technique for paper-based microfluidics integrates electrodes into paper-based test strips through laser-induced pyrolysis, enhancing speed, sensitivity, and accuracy.
A new study demonstrates that graphene-based materials can be used to efficiently convert high-frequency signals into visible light, and that this mechanism is ultrafast and tunable.
To ensure that wounds remain tightly sealed in the abdomen after surgery, researchers have developed a patch with a sensor function. The polymer patch warns before the occurence of dangerous leaks on sutures in the gastrointestinal tract take hold, while closes the areas on its own.
Researchers have engineered a new energy-generating device by combining piezoelectric composites with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer, a commonly used material that is both light and strong.
