Novel gas sensors with enhanced selectivity based on integrated magnetic and conductometric measurements
Reliable detection of hazardous gases has become a key issue due to the more stringent environmental and safety regulations worldwide. Solid-state conductometric gas sensors present a high potential for applications where the use of conventional analytical systems such as gas chromatography or optical detection is prohibitively expensive or impossible. The operation of such sensors […] Read More >
Peptide-based water-soluble and transparent adhesive
Most adhesives involve various undesirable solvents or non-environment friendly elements. Other, more pleasant options often offer decreased adhesion between surfaces. Hence, bio-inspired peptide-based water-soluble adhesives could provide a favorable solution. Transparency, non-flammability and thermal stability of the material are additional key features attributed to this material.We have developed simple synthetic peptides, with aromatic and hydrophilic […] Read More >

Nanocomposite of Poly L-lactic acid with inorganic nanotubes
Strong, tough and bio-degradable polymer-based 3D-ink for fused deposition modeling (FDM) using inorganic WS2 nanotubes.WS2-NT are metals dichalcogenides nanotubes (NT) of the shape MX2 (M = transition metal, Mo, W, etc.; X = S, Se, Te). In its tube form, WS2 is a semiconductor, nontoxic, and dispersible in both organic solvents and polymers. With a […] Read More >
Deep Learning-based design of nano-photonics structures
TAU Researchers have developed a unique deep-learning algorithm that can predict the spectral response of nanostructures with high accuracy as well as provide a single nanostructure’s design, geometry and dimension, for a targeted or measured optical response. Nano-optics and Nano-photonics aim to do what is unachievable with standard linear optics, which is to go beyond […] Read More >
Block polyester copolymers by ring opening polymerization employing new catalysts
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is a plastic material derived from annually-renewable resources, which decomposes post-consumption to non-toxic materials. PLA is produced by the catalyzed ring opening polymerization (ROP) of lactide. PLA is attracting considerable current interest and has found various commodity (packaging, fibres, etc.) and biomedical (sutures, stents, tissue engineering, drug release) applications. Substantial worldwide effort […] Read More >
Disk-like hybrid nanostructures
A process of preparing a plurality of nanostructures, each being composed of at least one target material is disclosed. The process comprises sequentially electrodepositing a first material and the at least one target material into pores of a porous membrane having a nanometric pore diameter, to thereby obtain within the pores nanometric rods, each of […] Read More >
