Research Highlights
Artificial cell membranes for studying membrane proteins

A lipid bilayer constructed on a silicon wafer provides a model platform for studying movement of ions across cell membranes

Flexible transistors using transparent n-channel organic semiconductors

Flexible and transparent organic thin film transistors were created on PET film, with high mobility and low hysteresis. The results suggest that n-channel organic semiconducting materials can be used for easily processed, flexible OTFTs circuits in air.

Nanolayered reactive particles

"Green" nanolayered reactive particles are promising new materials for chemical delays.

Reversible twinning in aluminum

Twinning and spotaneous detwinning in aluminum are observed in situ in the electron microscope
