A surprising new source of conductivity from oxygen atoms trapped inside has been noted by a research group probing the properties of a semiconductor integrated with a novel thin oxide film.
Shape-memory polymers are an emerging class of smart polymer materials that have been a research focus since the 1980s in the materials sciences. Writing in Polymers, researchers from Spain and Italy have investigated the synergic effects of electrospun fibers and shape-memory properties, with implications for the fields of biomedical sciences, sensors, smart electronics, and actuators.

Scientists from the University of California (UCLA) have created an exclusive design of ultrathin films for extremely flexible yet mechanically strong bioelectronic membranes that could open doors for diagnostic on-skin sensors that can be positioned precisely over the body’s contours and adapt to its movements.
The deployment of 12 PTR-TOF instruments in Shenzhen supports advanced air quality monitoring and research on atmospheric VOCs and ozone pollution mechanisms.
A paper in Polymers, published this week, has investigated the properties of soil enhanced with biopolymers. Whilst there has been growing research interest in soil engineering with biopolymers, thus far there has been little engineering application for these materials to enhance the properties of soil. This research has implications for research into the improvement of soils for construction purposes.
