3D printing is highly desirable for building optical sensors as it offers a variety of design and manufacturing possibilities. To investigate the use of 3D printing for this purpose, a team of researchers writing in Composites Part B: Engineering has presented the possibility of 3D printing 4D-functionalized photonic devices, including Fresnel lenses.

Recently, SCIENCE CHINA Chemistry published online the important research results by Prof. Jinlong Yang's research group from University of Science and Technology of China in the field of two-dimensional magnetic semiconductors.
Amines are derivatives of ammonia in which one or more hydrogen atoms are replaced by hydrocarbon radicals. Radicals can vary, so both the physical and chemical properties of amines are different.
Chronic wounds are deep and difficult to repair. Often, the top of the injury heals before the bottom, so the wound collapses in on itself. Over time, this can result in scar tissue and reduced skin function.
Two-dimensional materials are incredibly thin. Typically only an atom thick, 2D materials exhibit highly desirable properties for advanced technologies, such as flexibility, superconductivity and more.
Associate Professor of RUDN University in partnership with scientists from Italy and Turkey found the optimal parameters for cold working on steel. This makes it possible to increase the endurance of 316L steel by 81.25%.
A new breakthrough in flame retardant composites was made by self-assembling melamine and phytic acid (PA) upon rGO, which was then used to increase the fire resistance of PLA, as written in the journal Polymers.
