A dual-gated graphene transistor designed to operate directly in liquid environments has achieved up to 20 times the signal gain of conventional designs while cutting sensor drift by more than 15 ...

What if electronic circuits could be created simply by drawing lines with a pencil on paper or leaves—and then immediately ...

Designing materials often requires trade-offs between certain properties. If you want something that’s going to keep gases and liquids out, then you’ll want a hard, stiff material. If on the other ...

Two nonconductive liquids produce a conductive film where they meet, enabling 3D-printed all-liquid wires that obey Ohm's law ...

Liquid metal refers to a class of metallic materials that remain in a liquid state at or near room temperature. These materials possess unique properties, such as high electrical and thermal ...

Magnetic materials in a quantum spin liquid phase are of great interest in the pursuit of exotic state of matter and quantum ...

Solid-state batteries could be safer and more energy-dense than today’s lithium-ion technology, but finding materials that allow ions to move quickly through solid electrolytes has been difficult.

The field of liquid crystals and photoluminescent materials continues to expand, merging the distinctive self‐organisation of liquid crystalline phases with the tunable optical properties of ...

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), produced by the acid hydrolysis of wood, cotton or other cellulose-rich sources, constitute a renewable nanosized raw material with a broad range of envisaged uses: for ...

Materials capable of performing complex functions in response to changes in the environment could form the basis for exciting new technologies. Think of a capsule implanted in your body that ...

Controlling light with light is a long-sought goal for computing and communication technologies. Achieving this capability ...

Research has shown the potential of liquid crystal shells as enabling material for a vast array of future applications, ranging from autonomous driving to anti-counterfeiting technology and a new ...
