Can a pumpkin-shaped molecule bring a different ending to 'Breaking Bad'?

A simple and flexible sensor, which can be attached to a wristband and connected to an Android app via Bluetooth, could move drug screening from the labs to the streets.

A flexible new platform for high-performance electronics

Engineers has created the most functional flexible transistor in the world - and with it, a fast, simple and inexpensive fabrication process that's easily scalable to the commercial level.

Surfactants have surprising effect on nanobubble stability

Tiny bubbles may have complex breaking mechanisms dependent on their surrounding solution.

Entangling photons from a quantum dot in the telecom C-band

Scientists experimentally verified the generation of polarization-entangled photon pairs in the emission wavelength range of the telecom C-band.

Biodegradable microsensors for food monitoring

A new generation of microsensors could provide the vital link between food products and the Internet of Things. Researchers have developed an ultra-thin temperature sensor that is both biocompatible and biodegradable.

Nanoscale energy harvesters show large-scale impact

Nanoscale modeling of piezoelectric energy harvester offers a new nanoscale sensor design and demonstrates important design elements for efficient implementation.

Origami optoelectronics

Researchers present strategies to demonstrate the degree to which highly deformable properties, including stretching, bending, and twisting can be achieved in conjunction with high-performance photodetection through the integration of Miura origami, array design, and paper printing processes.
