Stabilizing Gelatin-Based Bioinks under Physiological Conditions by Incorporation of Ethylene-Glycol-Conjugated Fmoc-Ff Peptides
Peptide-based bioinks that stabilize gelatin-based 3D printed scaffolds under physiological conditions. UNMET NEED Gelatin is one of the most widely-used materials for the fabrication of 3D scaffolds. In order to fabricate stable scaffolds under physiological conditions, gelatin need to be methacrylated, allowing the crosslinking and therefore the stabilization of the hydrogel through UV treatment. However, […] Read More >
LWIR / FIR / THz Detectors and Sources For High Sensitivity Remote Sensing
MIR-THz Detectors and Sources For High Sensitivity Remote Sensing The discoveries of novel materials and physical phenomena continuously drive technological advancements and their applications. So is the case for MIR-THz optoelectronics, operating roughly in the frequency range of f≈0.5-35THz. In this spectral range radiation penetrates through opaque materials without the risk of ionization, making MIR-THz […] Read More >
Extending the Life of Lithium-Based Batteries Via Metal-Oxide Nanoparticles Addition
Due to the need to reduce environmental pollution and reduce the use of fossil fuels, the whole world is moving towards increasing the use of electric vehicles that will be charged from renewable energies – sun and wind. Lithium batteries are currently used as the main source of energy for electric vehicles. The challenges that […] Read More >
Stable enzyme-responsive nanocarriers with a-two step activation mechanism
The Challenge: Polymeric nanocarriers that can release their covalently attached or encapsulated cargo in response to specific stimuli can offer many advantages such as greater selectivity and consequently reduced side-effects. Among the different types of stimuli-responsive nanocarriers, enzyme-responsive delivery systems can act as a Trojan horse and release their active payload in response to specific […] Read More >
STEREOGRADIENT POLY-(LACTIC ACID) PRODUCTION BY RING OPENING POLYMERIZATION, EMPLOYING HIGHLY ACTIVE NOVEL CATALYSTS
The Kol group at the School of Chemistry of Tel Aviv University has been developing catalysts and technologies for the ring opening polymerization of lactones, and in-particular lactide to produce PLLA-based polymers, block-copolymers and tailor-made copolymers. Recently, a new family of catalysts was developed by the Kol group. These catalysts combine several attractive properties: 1. […] Read More >
FABRICATION OF ELECTRODES WITH ULTRA-SHORT CHANNEL LENGTH
Nanofabrication represents one of the most important features of modern electronics, optoelectronics, photonics and information technologies. However, the ability to fabricate nanoscale (sub-20 nm) devices, requires the introduction of unconventional techniques for material patterning, which is cumbersome, expensive, time consuming, typically available mainly to big industrial companies or to specific research centers, hence, not reachable […] Read More >
Bio-inspired flexible piezoelectric layer showing powerful performance
The piezoelectric effect, the conversion of mechanical energy to electrical energy can serve as the basictechnology for many applications such as energy harvesting sensing and actuating. Currently, the fieldof piezoelectric materials is dominate by lead-based ceramic materials such as lead zirconate titanate(PZT). However, lead is toxic and brittle, emerging the need for alternative lead free, […] Read More >
METHOD FOR GENERATION OF CONTROLLED THz WAVES
We present a method for the generation of THz pulses with tailored temporal shape from nonlinear metasurfaces. The method is based on single-cycle THz emission by the metasurface inclusions. We show that the spatial amplitude and phase structure of the nonlinear response is mapped to the temporal shape of pulses emitted at certain angles. We […] Read More >
