專門從事服飾配件資材銷售的日本增見哲公司利用以蛋殼為主原料的生質塑膠「PLASHELL」，實現了在鈕扣製品用途的商品化，並已開始向成衣服飾企業行銷推廣，可望有助於降低衣物從生產到廢棄的環境負荷。 「PLASHELL」是...
阅读全文Hokkaido University researchers have developed a simple method that converts existing generic polymers into luminescent polymers using mechanical force. advertisement Researchers from Hokkaido Univers...
阅读全文Researchers have developed a way to dynamically switch the surface of liquid metal between reflective and scattering states. This technology could one day be used to create electrically controllable m...
阅读全文When lithium ions flow in and out of a battery electrode during charging and discharging, a tiny bit of oxygen seeps out and the battery's voltage -- a measure of how much energy it delivers -- fades ...
阅读全文A study led by University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers uncovered a property of magnetic materials that will allow engineers to develop more efficient spintronic devices in the future. Spintron...
阅读全文A new high-performance plastic foam developed from whey proteins can withstand extreme heat better than many common thermoplastics made from petroleum. A research team in Sweden reports that the mater...

阅读全文Conductive rutile TiO2 has received considerable attention recently due to multiple applications. However, the permittivity in conductive, reduced or doped TiO2 appears to cause controversy with repor...
阅读全文Heterobilayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) can form a moiré superlattice with flat minibands, which enables strong electron interaction and leads to various fascinating correlated sta...
阅读全文For many materials, a precise knowledge of their dispersion spectra is insufficient to predict their ordered phases and physical responses. Instead, these materials are classified by the geometrical a...
阅读全文Polymer surfaces are believed to have high mobility, and the glass transition temperature (Tg) of these surfaces is significantly decreased compared to that of the bulk. In this study, we prepared a m...
阅读全文Flexible control of the propagating direction of near-field light can be realized with hyperbolic metamaterials, using an all-electric metasource.
阅读全文By shining laser light on semiconducting moire superlattices formed by stacking two atomically thin materials, researchers found a new class of electronic excited states called 'moire trions'. The stu...
阅读全文木質素是豐富存在於世界上的生物質，且沒有與民爭糧的問題，因此在生質燃料原料用途上受到矚目。目前在印尼以棕櫚樹的廢棄棕櫚空果串(Fresh Fruit Bunches; FFB)為首，仍有許多未利用的生物質，除了利用率低之外，燃...
阅读全文Researchers from Cornell University's School of Applied and Engineering Physics and Samsung's Advanced Institute of Technology have created a first-of-its-kind metalens -- a metamaterial lens -- that ...
