Tiny shape-changing machines deliver medicine efficiently to the GI tract

'Theragrippers' are inspired by a parasitic worm that clamps onto its host's intestines.

A tiny supercapacitor, ideal for wearable devices

This study is the first to demonstrate electrohydrodynamic (EHD) jet printing for microsupercapacitor fabrication.

Synthesis of new carbon material: Diamond-like carbon nanofiber film

Researchers have synthesized a film composed of densely packed diamond-like carbon nanofibers.

Ultrasensitive plasmon-free surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy

A recent study has unveiled 2D material-based ultrasensitive surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) sensor by synthesizing uniform large-area 2D films.

Materials scientists synthesize nanocoatings with contrasting properties

Materials that simultaneously have contrasting properties - for example, they are soft on the one hand and hard on the other, the transition is gradual - could enable completely new applications like gradual anti-reflective lenses.

Room temperature conversion of CO2 to CO: A new way to synthesize hydrocarbons

New method could potentially reduce carbon dioxide emission into the atmosphere and slash costs of chemical manufacturing.

Scientists design novel transparent solar cells using thin silicon films

Scientists have put forth an innovative design for the development of a high-power transparent solar cell.
