Polymer-based responsive structural color materials are polymers with ordered
microstructures that can change colors. They offer unique advantages and present a novel …

This review highlights the most significant advances of the nanofabrication techniques
reported over the past decade with a particular focus on the approaches tailored towards the …

This article aims to review nature-inspired chemical sensors for enabling fast, relatively
inexpensive, and minimally (or non-) invasive diagnostics and follow-up of the health …

For more than 5000 years, organic–inorganic composite materials created by men via skill
and serendipity have been part of human culture and customs. The concept of “hybrid …

Porous SnO2 nanospheres with high surface areas have been synthesized through a
solvothermal method in the absence of any templates. The structure and morphology of the …

In this work, we report the synthesis of porous SnO2 nanowire bundles with high yield
through a simple solution approach. The bundles are composed of porous SnO2 nanowires …

Photonic crystal (PhCs) based sensing technology has gained more and more attention
because of its obvious advantages in sensitivity, stability, security, miniaturisation, portability …

Materials science will play a key role in the further development of emerging solutions for the
increasing problems of energy and environment. Materials found in nature have many …

In this article, cupric oxide (CuO) leafletlike nanosheets have been synthesized by a facile,
low-cost, and surfactant-free method, and they have further been successfully developed for …

To realize the full potential of nanocrystals in nanotechnology, it is necessary to integrate
single nanocrystals into addressable structures; for example, arrays and periodic lattices …
