(Phys.org) —A new Oxford spin-out firm is targeting the difficult challenge of manufacturing fullerenes, known as 'bucky-balls' because of their spherical shape, a type of carbon nanomaterial which, like graphene and carbon nanotubes, has unique ...
They are also readily customized for use in power generator units for consumer electronics, radio-frequency identification (RFID) systems, and microsystems where easy integration is a must. Figure 1. Schematic of decorative or hidden organic ...
Lu's specific technique (dubbed as microfluidic chromatin immunoprecipitation) is the subject of a patent filed by Virginia Tech Intellectual Properties (VTIP) on his behalf, and the group's research appears in premier microfluidics and biomedical ...
The key is the use of microfluidics—the patch is actually filled with fluid in which the components are suspended—and wires folded like origami so that no matter which way the device bends or stretches, they adapt to the motion. That flexibility has ...
