Georgia Tech Researcher Proposes Metamaterial Separation for Chemical and Biomolecular Processes

The unique properties of metamaterials have been used to cloak objects from light, and to hide them from vibration, pressure waves and heat. Now, a Georgia Institute of Technology researcher wants to add another use for metamaterials: creating a new directional separation technique that cloaks one compound while concentrating the other.

Manipulation of Exciplexes Paves Way for Novel Electronics with Tunable Properties

Researchers at Kyushu University have formulated a new approach that could be the foundation of a whole new range of electronic devices possessing exceptionally tunable properties. Using this approach, the team was able to extensively vary the efficiency and emission color of organic light-emitting diodes based on exciplexes merely by modifying the distance by a few nanometers between key molecules in the devices.

Researchers Find Way to Control Properties of Composite Material for Biomedical Applications

Researchers from a number of disciplines at North Carolina State University collaborated to create a composite material capable of emitting heat and light when exposed to radiation of specific wavelengths. The material can also be customized to possess specific mechanical features. This composite could possibly be adapted for use in drug delivery, biomedical imaging, and therapeutic treatments.

Research Group Uses Focused Laser Beam to Analyze Fundamentals of Boiling

Gather your patience and put the old “a watched pot never boils” saying to the test. The experience might rival watching paint dry, but of course the water will eventually begin to boil. When it does, you’ll see a flurry of bubbles form and quickly rise to the surface of the water. Once it kicks in, it builds at a furious pace and quickly creates a roiling cauldron on your stovetop. Time to add the pasta.

Scientists Study Magnetic and Ferroelectric Properties of Multiferroic Materials

In 1894, Pierre Curie speculated on the “the symmetry in physical phenomena, symmetry of an electric field and a magnetic field.” Since then material scientists have working to discover a unique material that displays the coexistence of ferroelectricity and magnetism in a single compound, referred to as a multiferroic compound.
