A model ceramic foam was produced by expanding the sintered dense shell of refractory 3 mol% yttria‐stabilized zirconia, utilizing its superplastic deformation. The conventional production of porous ceramics by the sintering of a foamed precursor results in either insufficient sintering if porosity is to be maintained…

New lysine-based dendrimers which upon reaction with a poly(ethylene glycol) di-activated ester afford a soft flexible hydrogel that can be used to seal a wound in the sclerotomy. These wounds are made during the common ophthalmic procedure of a vitrectomy. The rheological and swelling properties of the hydrogel can b…

Porous chitosan microspheres with diameters ranging from 180 μm to 280 μm were successfully prepared, using an anti-phase suspension method combined with temperature controlled freeze-extraction. The mean pore diameter could be regulated from 5 μm to 60 μm by varying the freezing temperature through the cooling rate.…

A new approach to artificial muscle actuator design is presented, and is implemented using shape memory alloys (SMA). An array of SMA actuators is segmented into many independently controlled, spatially discrete volumes, each contributing a small displacement to create a large motion. The segmented cellular architectu…

Light-induced structural changes in single crystals belonging to the β-As 4 S 4 -As 8 S 9 series and in a crystal of synthetic β-As 4 S 3 were monitored step by step by determining the unit-cell dimensions. A marked increase of unit-cell volume as a function of exposure time was observed for all the crystals belonging…

We have examined the device characteristics of solution-processed single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) transistors. By using an electrical breakdown, SWNT-field-effect transistors (FETs) exhibited an on/off ratio ( I on / I off ) of 10 4 and a field-effect mobility of 3.6 cm 2 V -1 s -1 in air, which are comparable to…

Stability and atomic geometry of mono-, di-, and trivacancies in graphene sheets are studied by using first-principles calculations. We find that the atomic relaxation substantially contributes to the stability of the vacancies. The monovacancy is found to have a nonplanar structure, i.e., its symmetry is C 1 h , whil…
