19-Mar-2025 Highly robust, compressible, anisotropic, and fire-retardant polyimide/hydroxyapatite nanowires/reduced graphene oxide aerogel for rapid adsorption of viscous oil assisted by sunlight Research A research team from the University of Alberta has developed a highly robust, compressible, anisotropic, and fire-retardant aerogel adsorbent composed of polyimide (PI), hydroxyapatite nanowires (HAPnws), and reduced graphene oxide (rGO). This innovative material leverages reduced flow tortuosity through its anisotropic structures and solar-assisted viscosity reduction via photothermal materials.

19-Mar-2025 The present and future of the flexible hybrid epidermal electronic system Research Research on the flexible hybrid epidermal electronic system (FHEES) has attracted considerable attention due to its potential applications in human-machine interaction and healthcare. However, the heterogeneous integration of soft and stiff components makes balancing comfort and performance in designing and implementing FHEESs challenging. A new study, published in Research, reviews multimodal FHEESs in two types: all-in-one and assembled, highlighting the design challenge with different heterogeneous integration strategies.
