Rubbery camouflage skin exhibits smart and stretchy behaviors
Jun 18, 2022 (Nanowerk News) The skin of cephalopods, such as octopuses, squids and cuttlefish, is stretchy and smart, contributing to these creatures’ ability to sense and respond to their surroundings. A Penn State-led collaboration has harnessed these properties to create an artificial skin that mimics both the elasticity and...

Boosting light power revolutionizes communications and autopilot
Jun 18, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) are devices that can provide gain to the optical signal power in optical fibers, often used in long-distance communication fiber optic cables and fiber-based lasers. Invented in the 1980s, EDFAs are arguably one of the most important inventions, and have profoundly...
Upcycling with light: Biomass-derived crosslinked polymers
Jun 18, 2022 (Nanowerk News) From inexpensive mass products to tailored high-tech materials, our modern world without plastics is unimaginable. The major downside to this is the use of fossil fuels and the growing quantities of waste. A new approach could be the production of high-grade plastics made from biomass...
