A New Approach to Create Waterproof Graphene-Based Sensors

The electrical resistance of graphene—a two-dimensional (2D) material—is generally distorted by water molecules, but now a group of European researchers has reported that contact resistance is not affected by humidity when graphene is incorporated with the metal of a circuit.

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.
