Conducting polymers refers to polymers that can transmit electrical charge rendering them viable conductor options. These substances integrate metal's electric charge conduction capabilities with the benefits of polymeric capabilities.

The 21st Century has brought exceptional achievements and major advancements in science and research, especially in the ever-developing field of Metals and Alloys. To celebrate the launch of Frontiers in Metals and Alloys, Frontiers has organized a series of special issue Research Topics to highlight the latest advances across this field.Led by Prof. Veerle Keppens (University of Tennessee Knoxville), Specialty Chief Editor for the Physical Properties of Metals section,

Researchers review different synthesis methods of graphene quantum dots as well as their optical properties and applications against cancer.

With the thickness of a single atomic layer, graphene is the thinnest material ever produced. Thinner than a billionth of a meter, graphene can absorb light efficiently from the visible to the infrared via the photoexcitation of its charge carriers.

Many medical professionals throughout history have relied upon the color of blood to determine certain health characteristics of the patient. In a recent Royal Society of Chemistry study, researchers sought to utilize Raman spectroscopy to gain insight into the optical properties of blood samples at the cellular level.

As well as their anti-microbial properties, silver nanoparticles also have remarkable optical properties as they can both scatter and absorb light highly efficiently.

The rapid advancement of digital technology in the last two decades has promoted a need for electronic devices with high computing power. To meet this growing demand, scientists are searching for new materials to complement the existing electronics.
