Making cheaper, biocompatible E-skin electrodes

Materials scientists have improved electrical conductivity in a polymer electrode for E-skin applications. Their approach is simple and cheap, but further enhancements are needed for the polymer to become a viable alternative to more expensive gold electrodes.

Tiny bubbles on electrodes key to speeding up chemical processes

New research has shown the formation of bubbles on electrodes, usually thought to be a hindrance, can be beneficial, with deliberately added bubbles, or oil droplets, able to accelerate processes such as the removal of pollutants including hydrocarbons from contaminated water and the production of chlorine.

Researchers control multiple wavelengths of light from a single source

Researchers have synthesized a collection of nanoparticles, known as carbon dots, capable of emitting multiple wavelengths of light from a single particle. Additionally, the team discovered that the dispersion of the carbon dots, or the interparticle distance between each dot, influences the properties of the light the carbon dots emit.

Filming roaming molecular fragments in real time

Scientists have succeeded in shooting the first molecular film of 'roamers' (hydrogen fragments, in this case, that orbit around HCO fragments) during a chemical reaction, by studying the photo-dissociation of formaldehyde, H2CO.
