A self-powered heart monitor taped to the skin
Scientists have developed a human-friendly, ultra-flexible organic sensor powered by sunlight, which acts as a self-powered heart monitor. Previously, they developed a flexible photovoltaic...
kinetiX—designing auxetic-inspired deformable material structures
This paper describes a group of auxetic-inspired material structures that can transform into various shapes upon compression. We developed four cellular-based material structure units...
Reversible Self-Assembly of Macroscopic “Polymers”
Programming materials to reconfigure themselves into new structures might sound like science fiction, but researchers are working on exactly that goal. Now a team...
Economical way to produce high-performance thin films for electronics
Researchers at Missouri S&T have found an unprecedented, economical method for creating high-performance inorganic thin films, or “epitaxial” films, used in the manufacture of...

Chemical engineers first to functionalize boron nitride with other nanosystems
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have discovered a route to alter boron nitride, a layered 2D material, so that it can...
Here’s why we care about attempts to prove the Riemann hypothesis
A famed mathematical enigma is once again in the spotlight.
The Riemann hypothesis, posited in 1859 by German mathematician Bernhard Riemann, is one of the...
