Recently, a research team led by Professor ZHAO Bangchuan from the Institute of Solid Materials of the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) synthesized 3D porous honeycomb-like CoN-Ni3N/N-C nanosheets and vanadium nitride (VN) nanobelt arrays via in-situ growth method, respectively, and constructed a high-energy-density flexible supercapacitor device. The result has been published in Advanced Functional Materials.

For example, chemotherapy or radiotherapy, when combined with thermotherapy, kills tumorous cells more effectively. Thermotherapy is considered a promising approach for treating internal lesions, but the advancement in the field depends on the availability of patient-friendly heat-inducing devices capable of rapidly increasing the temperature of target tissues. Current clinical practices around thermotherapy majorly employ heat-generating devices that are probed inside the human body or ...

Rice University has developed a simple chemical process that produces light yet highly absorbent aerogels that can take a beating.

Anaerobic Bacterium Helps Synthesize Catalysts to Split Hydrogen from Water Written by AZoMMay 28 2021 Researchers from KAUST have illustrated an economical and dependable method to synthesize highly active single-atom catalysts by utilizing the exceptional metal-reducing potential of the iron-breathing bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens. The research team exploited the iron-breathing bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens to synthesize single-atom catalysts, which could be used for various energy-related applications.

The smart bandage held by tweezers. Photo by Negar Rahmani The non-invasive method, created by URI assistant Professor Daniel Roxbury and former URI graduate student Mohammad Moein Safaee, involves embedding nanosensors in the fibres of a bandage.  Roxbury explained that through single-walled carbon nanotubes within the bandage concentrations of hydrogen peroxide can be detected in order to identify an infectio...
