Earthworms are always clean, even if they come from moist, sticky soil. They owe this to a dirt-repellent, lubricating layer, which forms itself again and again on its skin. Researchers at INM have now artificially recreated this system of nature.
Inside most materials, little is moving. But a new “active nanocomposite” is teeming with motion: small particles connect or separate, thus changing the color of the entire material.
For the first time there will be a lecture of the University of Fine Arts Saar in cooperation with the Leibniz Institute for New Materials in the winter semester 2018/19.
How to visualize proteins in cells? How to investigate catalytic processes and dynamic behavior of nanomaterials at around 300,000x magnification? Some 100 experts from all over the world will address these questions at this year’s CISCEM .
A transparent material can “answer” temperature changes or, in the future, the presence of chemical substances and toxins with a color change.
Scientists developed a new adhesive structure so that adhesion, even to types of rough surfaces, can be reliably provided.
In this publication an optoregulated Escherichia coli (E. coli)‐based living biomaterial that can be externally addressed using light to interact with mammalian cells is demonstrated.
