The present article deals with synthesis of phenol-formaldehyde (PF) matrix-based composites using raw flax and flax graft copolymers as reinforcing agents. Prior to use of the graft copolymer as reinforcing material, its strength vis-à-vis that of raw flax was studied. Composites thus prepared were subjected to the e…

Electronic waveguides in graphene formed by counterpropagating snake states in suitable inhomogeneous magnetic fields are shown to constitute a realization of a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid. Due to the spatial separation of the right- and left-moving snake states, this non-Fermi liquid state induced by electron-electron…

Pores for thought: The formation of nanostructured TiO2 films is templated by dendritic amphiphilic core–double-shell macromolecules. The templates consist of a hydrophobic polystyrene (PS) interior and a hydrophilic poly(acrylic acid) (PA) exterior (see picture). The pore size of the films can be controlled by adjust…

A molecular vise: The purple-colored bis(tert-butylscorpionate) iron(II) complex is fully low-spin at room temperature, despite the steric hindrance brought about by the six methyl groups in the equatorial belt. The remotely situated bulky tert-butyl substituent on boron acts like a locking screw for a vise, forcing t…

We derive the dispersion relation of Bloch modes in a fishnet metamaterial in the optical frequency domain. The dependence of the longitudinal wave vector component on the transverse one and the frequency, which governs diffraction and dispersive spreading of localized light excitations, respectively, are analyzed. We…

Spiders routinely produce multiple types of silk; however, common wisdom has held that insect species produce one type of silk each. This work reports that the green lacewing ( Mallada signata, Neuroptera) produces two distinct classes of silk. We identified and sequenced the gene that encodes the major protein compon…
