Taking inspiration from a family of African fish called Mormyrids, which are mildly electric and feature organs that can ...

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS or silicone) is an important and versatile material used in the field of printed electronics (PE). In particular, thin film layers of PDMS show great promise for use in ...

Microscopes traditionally resolve only the thin layer of cellular activity within a narrow focal plane. Now scientists have ...

Researchers at BITS Pilani, Hyderabad, developed a portable device for rapid on-site detection of pesticide residues on ...

It chose polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to coat the entire surface and sides of perovskite solar cells. Their front-facing surface was in situ-patterned using a soft lithography technique to reduce ...

This study explores the use of fluorescent nanodiamonds as physical unclonable functions (PUFs) for anticounterfeiting, ...

It’s made up of three layers that have different roles. The topmost layer is polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), which emits far-infrared radiation, which is felt as heat. The center is a thin layer of ...

One of the best and most widely used materials for providing the slightly sticky yet releasable surface for paper-based release liners is Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS or silicone). Very thin layers of ...

As temperatures keep climbing, buildings that can better withstand the sun will be important. Scientists develop ...

Unlike conventional lithography that uses rigid photomasks, soft lithography employs elastomeric materials, typically polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), to create patterns and structures with high fidelity ...
