Advanced Materials

Scientists reported significant advances in the thermoelectric performance of organic semiconductors based on carbon nanotube thin films that could be integrated into fabrics to convert waste heat into electricity or serve as a small power source.

What is a point-of-care device? Dr David Pugh et al. discuss how biosensors are changing the ways that diseases are diagnosed.

Fibre reinforced polymers (FRP), more often commonly referred to simply as composites, give excellent strength and stiffness to weight ratios along with other beneficial properties. The main reason for their exploitation is for lightweighting, which has resulted in them being used in nearly every sport and transportation industry. Marine is no exception to this trend

Fibers made of carbon nanotubes configured as wireless antennas can be as good as copper antennas but 20 times lighter, according to researchers. The antennas may offer practical advantages for aerospace applications and wearable electronics where weight and flexibility are factors.
