Scalable Wet-Etching Technology for High-Resolution MXene Microelectrodes
MXenes are an emerging class of highly conductive, two dimensional materials that combine metallic performance with solution based processing. These properties position MXenes as promising candidates for next generation technologies in microelectronics, sensing, and flexible devices. Despite their potential, widespread adoption has been limited by the lack of a practical and scalable method that can […] Read More >
Biocompatible Reinforcement of Cellularized Tissues Using Small Molecule Crosslinkers
Existing chemical crosslinking methods such as UV-based, genipin or enzymatic are often cytotoxic and incompatible with the presence of living cells, or result in inhomogeneous reinforcement (primarily surface over core). Moreover, reinforcing ECM whilst ensuring uniform cell viability and spatial distribution in thick tissues remains challenging, particularly when robust mechanical properties are needed post-fabrication. Technology […] Read More >
Light-Controlled Nanostructured Device for Biomolecule Separation
In the realms of proteomics, genomics, and biosensing, the analysis of complex biological samples such as blood and urine presents significant challenges. These samples contain a vast array of biomolecules, often exceeding 10,000 proteins with concentration variations spanning over 10 orders of magnitude. Traditional methods like chromatography, electrophoresis, and centrifugation are either time-consuming or lack […] Read More >

Jellyfish׳ Collagen-Based Smart Wound Dressing with Antibacterial Properties
Collagen-based dressing in wounds greatly benefits the healing process. Unfortunately, most collagen is extracted from bovine tissues, which bears a significant risk of transmitting various biological contaminations. Moreover, the collagen extraction process from bovine tissue involves time and cost-consuming steps, reducing the total collagen yield and increasing the overall cost of goods. In addition, the […] Read More >
Anti-Oxidation Agent to be Incorporated Into Cosmetics Leading to More Stable and Longer Shelf-Life Products
Oxidation is the reaction of Oxygen with a wide array of reactants. In cosmetics, product oxidation leads to spoilage of ingredients used in the manufacturing products, the inactivation of oxygen-sensitive enzymes, shortening of product shelf-life, and discolorations of end-product. Self-assembling peptide-based hydrogels are simple hydrogels that can be combined with a wide variety of ingredients […] Read More >
Oxygen-Scavenging Peptide Hydrogel for Enzyme Protection
Unmet Need: • O2-sensitive enzymes like [FeFe]-hydrogenase lose activity within seconds of ambient air exposure, severely limiting their industrial and sustainable energy applications • Lack of passive protection methods: Existing O2 protection technologies require continuous energy investment or complex systems to maintain anaerobic conditions The technology: • FmocFF peptide hydrogel: Self-assembling fluorenyl-methyloxycarbonyl-diphenylalanine forms 3D nanofibrillar […] Read More >
Heterogeneous structures comprising III-V semiconductors and metal oxide dielectrics,and a method of fabrication thereof.
Electron mobility in bulk III-V semiconductors is about an order of magnitude higher than in silicon, which promises much faster nanometer-scale electronics in GaAs-based devices. However, fabrication of metal oxide – semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs), the central element of modern electronics, with III-V semiconductors is hampered for years by the unresolved problem of the […] Read More >
Solution Monolayer Epitaxy for Semiconductor Surface Passivation
Passivating the surface of various semiconductors, such as the III-V family of materials, has been a long-standing unsolved problem, which limits the performance of many devices. We have recently developed the technique of Solution Monolayer Epitaxy (SoME) which has a potential to solve such problems better than previous methods. UNMET NEEDUnlike silicon, where silicon […] Read More >
