Graphene-White Graphene Combination Shown to Improve Self-Sensing Properties of Ceramics

A ceramic that turns less electrically conductive when subjected to plastic strain and more conductive under elastic strain could open the door for a new generation of sensors that can be integrated into structures such as bridges, buildings, and aircraft with the ability to monitor their own health.

New Computer Experiment Shows Discrepancy in Describing the Behavior of Magnetic Nanoparticles

Researchers at Ural Federal University in collaboration with colleagues from Edinburgh carried out a computer experiment which showed that it is inappropriate to illustrate the behavior of magnetic nanoparticles that offer cell heating as the sum of reactions with each other: particles continuously interact, and their “collective behavior” creates a unique effect.
