Modulation of topological edge states in twisted bismuthene homojunctions through moire superstructure

Scientists have successfully realized the modulation of topological edge states in twisted bismuthine homojunctions through Moire superstructure, which has potential applications in nano electronics and quantum computing.

Scientists design microfluidic flexible strain sensor based on wave-patterned liquid metal

Researchers developed a microfluidic flexible strain sensor by introducing liquid metal eutectic gallium indium embedded into wave-shaped microchannel elastomeric matrix.

Micro-pipette probe for tuning the volume and particle concentration of liquids

Researchers have developed a micro-sized pipette probe for handling multiple liquids. It is the first time that such a small probe can dose fluid volume, and simultaneously control the concentration of particles inside the fluid.

Showtime for photosynthesis

One of nature's most important chemical reactions is now being captured in a breakthrough 'molecular movie'.

Two-dimensional layers of gold or silver become semiconductors

For the first time, it is possible to produce crystalline layers of precious metals that consist of a single atomic layer and which are semiconducting.

The sensitive strain sensor that can detect the weight of a feather

The sensor can stretch up to 80 times higher strain than strain gauges currently on the market and show resistance changes 100 times higher than the most sensitive materials in research development.
