Carbon nanotube fibers for advanced composites Amanda S. Wu and Tsu-Wei Chou
Due to their high specific strength, stiffness, electrical and thermal conductivity, and extreme flexibility, carbon nanotube fibers have become the focus of many investigations. With future applications in mind Wu and Chou highlight research on carbon nanotube fiber mechanics and experimental characterization.
Green and biodegradable electronics Mihai Irimia-Vladu, Eric. D. Głowacki, Gundula Voss, Siegfried Bauer and Niyazi Serdar Sariciftci
The lifetime of electronics is becoming increasingly shorter, posing a growing ecological problem. Sariciftci et al. present some of the initial steps taken to address the issue of electronic waste with biodegradable organic electronic materials; highlighting recent progress, covering substrates and insulators, semiconductors, and conductors.
Graphene for radio frequency electronics Lei Liao and Xiangfeng Duan
Graphene is emerging as an attractive electronic material for future electronics. However, the fabrication of high speed graphene transistors has proved a significant challenge. Liao and Duan review the opportunities, challenges, as well as the recent advances in the development of high speed graphene transistors and circuits.
Oxide interfaces: pathways to novel phenomena Pu Yu, Ying-Hao Chu, and Ramamoorthy Ramesh
Novel phenomena and functionalities at artificial heterointerfaces have been attracting extensive scientific attention in both materials science and fundamental condensed matter physics. In this article, Ramesh and co-workers review recent progress in our understanding of the novel states formed at this heterointerface, and discuss how emergent interfacial phenomena can be employed to influence the bulk properties of materials.
Carbon nanotubes for stem cell control David A. Stout and Thomas J. Webster
In the past decade, two major advancements have transformed the world of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine—stem cells and carbon nano-dimensional materials. Stout and Webster review research on carbon nanotube applications for stem cell delivery, drug delivery applications, and their use as improved medical devices.
