Unleashing the potential of high-spin polymers for next-gen optoelectronics and spintronics

In a significant article, scientists have shed new light on the capabilities of open-shell oligomers and polymers. These materials, distinguished by their high-spin ground states, hold promise for advancing technologies in ambipolar organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), photodetectors, thermoelectrics, and spintronics.

‘Cyborg’ technology could enable new diagnostics, merger of humans and AI

Connecting electronics directly to human tissues in the body is a challenge. Today, a team is reporting new coatings for components that could help them more easily fit into this milieu. The researchers will present their results at the American Chemical Society Fall 2020 Virtual Meeting & Expo.

Science Snapshot From Berkeley Lab – a biocompatible material that turns up the heat on antibacterial-resistant diseases

Scientists at Berkeley Lab’s Molecular Foundry have designed a biocompatible polymer that has the potential to advance photothermal therapy, a technique that deploys near-infrared light to combat antibacterial-resistant infections and cancer.
