| Posted: 31 Jul 2014 12:00 PM PDT Researchers have developed a novel method for creating self-assembled protein/polymer nanostructures that are reminiscent of fibers found in living cells. The work offers a promising new way to fabricate materials for drug delivery and tissue engineering applications.  |
| Pressure probing potential photoelectronic manufacturing compound Posted: 31 Jul 2014 11:59 AM PDT Molybdenum disulfide is a compound often used in dry lubricants. Its semiconducting ability and similarity to the carbon-based graphene makes molybdenum disulfide of interest to scientists as a possible candidate for use in the manufacture of electronics, particularly photoelectronics. New work reveals that molybdenum disulfide becomes metallic under intense pressure.  |
| Comfortable climate indoors with porous glass incorporated into plaster Posted: 31 Jul 2014 06:47 AM PDT Proper humidity and temperature play a key role in indoor climate. In the future, establishing a comfortable indoor environment may rely on porous glass incorporated into plaster, as this regulates moisture particularly well and keeps mold at bay.  |
