New insights into how proton-coupled electron transfers occur at an electrode could help researchers design more efficient fuel cells and electrolyzers.
Scientists modified an existing biocompatible material so that it conducts electricity efficiently in wet environments and can send and receive ionic signals from biological media.
The new contact lenses contain micro-sensors which monitor changes in intra-ocular pressure over a period of several hours, sending the data collected wirelessly so it can be analysed by an ophthalmologist and a diagnosis given.
Scientists have developed methods to enhance near-infrared light-powered molecular machines called 'molecular jackhammers' that can perforate cell membranes on command.
Researchers developed an anti-icing and de-icing film coating technology that can apply the photothermal effect of gold nanoparticles to industrial sites without the need for heating wires, periodic spray or oil coating of anti-freeze substances, and substrate design alterations.
Researchers developed a soldering process with nanoparticles that gently fuses tissue. The soldering technique is expected to prevent wound healing disorders and life-threatening complications from leaking sutures.
