AZoM spoke with Dr. Qing Tu about his research that has improved the stability of 2D hybrid organic-inorganic materials. This development could have far-reaching real-world applications in flexible electronics and optoelectronics in the near future.

This news release, originally issued by the University of Virginia, describes the development of a new 3d-printable soft material that matches the mechanical properties of vocal cords. The researcher team collaborated with Brookhaven Lab scientists Guillaume Freychet and Mikhail Zhernenkov to reveal the inner makeup of the printed material. By using the Soft Matter Interfaces (SMI) beamline at the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II), the team was able to investigate the sample without damaging the samples. NSLS-II is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility located at DOE’s Brookhaven National Laboratory that offers a comprehensive suite of scattering and diffraction beamlines for research on new materials.

E-Mail I think you re on mute. This was the most-used phrase of 2020, according to Human Resources Online. Emblazoned on T-shirts and embossed on coffee-mugs, we used the meme to make fun of ourselves while learning video-conferencing tools like Zoom and Microsoft s Teams.
But for the more than 7 million Americans who suffer from vocal disorders, not being heard is a serious matter. Many people who have normal speaking skills have great difficulty communicating when their voice box, the larynx, fails. This can occur if the vocal cords, the two bands of smooth muscle tissue in the larynx, suffer damage from an accident, surgical procedure, viral infection or cancer.
