Simplifying Solar Cells with a New Mix of Materials

March
2016
A new mix of materials could make manufacturing efficient silicon solar cells a simpler, cheaper process. Researchers at the Univ. of California, Berkeley, have created a high-efficiency solar cell without doping, the standard but expensive method...

Shrink-Wrap Pressure Sensor Works Even When Bent

March
2016
A thin, transparent polymer equipped with pressure sensors that wraps around curved surfaces like shrink wrap could transform health monitoring and diagnosis. Takao Someya, a professor of electrical engineering and information systems at the Univ...

Shape-Changing Polymer Morphs at the Touch of a finger

March
2016
A new smart material developed by chemical engineers at the Univ. of Rochester embodies two unique qualities that make it stand out from others: The temperature at which the material changes shape can be precisely tuned, and the material can deliver a large amount of mechanical work as it transforms back to its original shape.

Nanoparticles Shape-Shift to Deliver Chemotherapy

March
2016
From hair loss to nausea and vomiting, the side effects of chemotherapy add difficulty to an already difficult experience. A new drug-delivery system developed by scientists at the Univ. of Toronto could do away with chemo’s collateral damage. When...

Hybrid Polymer Reversibly Assembles and Disassembles

March
2016
A new type of hybrid polymer may offer new opportunities for drug delivery, self-repair, and responsiveness. The polymer combines covalent components and noncovalently bonded supramolecular components. The covalent pieces form a backbone with spoke-...

CRISPR Edits Genes to Treat Liver Disease in Mice

March
2016
The gene-editing technology known as CRISPR/Cas9 has now been used to correct two different genetic liver diseases in mice — tyrosinemia Type I and ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency. An earlier article reported the use of the CRISPR/Cas9...
