Dec 13, 2022 (Nanowerk News) The popularity of wearable electronics has induced demand for their parts, including power sources such as triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). Such power sources must be both stretchy and high-performance, holding up under various deformation conditions over hours of use. To enhance the design and performance of...
Using lab-designed protein to create quantum dots at room temperature
Dec 13, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Nature uses 20 canonical amino acids as building blocks to make proteins, combining their sequences to create complex molecules that perform biological functions. But what happens with the sequences not selected by nature? And what possibilities lie in constructing entirely new sequences to make novel,...
