Scientists have designed an artificial color-changing material that mimics chameleon skin, with luminogens (molecules that make crystals glow) organized into different core and shell hydrogel layers ...

Toughening has always been an important research direction of structure ceramics. The addition of secondary phases to the ceramic matrix to prepare composite ceramics is an effective toughening ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Semiconductor nanoparticles, also known as quantum dots (QDs), have been studied for their size-tunable electronic and optical properties for over 30 years. Applications have been ...

By exploiting the oxygen/sulfur selectivity of V in a POM precursor, a strongly coupled V2O5/MoS2 heterojunction was directly constructed on CC via one-step hydrothermal synthesis, exhibiting ...

Nanoshells are a class of nanoparticles consisting of a dielectric core surrounded by a thin metallic shell, typically made of gold or silver. The core material is usually silica or a polymer, while ...

An international team of researchers from Seoul National University, the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), and Kookmin University has developed an advanced electrochemical catalyst ...

Inductors are deceptively simple. However, a closer look reveals underlying complexity. How else can you explain the many types of core materials, types of windings, sizes, geometries and wide range ...

Power architectures with nonisolated voltage regulation continue to evolve, and power inductor designs are fundamental to the success of the new product designs. The trend toward two-stage conversion ...

A recent study published in Engineering presents a significant development in dry adhesive technology. Researchers from Xi’an Jiaotong University, including Duorui Wang, Hongmiao Tian, Jinyou Shao, ...
