Excited to see this #NSFfunded work published! As part of our ongoing research efforts, we are devising strategies for designing and developing liquid crystal-based optical sensors with tunable sensitivity and selectivity of response to a range of analytes. In this paper, in collaboration with David Lynn at UW-Madison, we report on LC-in-water emulsions that are stabilized using amphiphilic gold nanoparticles and retain their ability to respond to amphiphilic analytes for periods up to 1 year after preparation. We show that these materials provide a promising platform for developing LC droplet-based sensors with long-term colloidal stability, as well as opportunities to tune the sensitivity and selectivity of the response to target aqueous analytes.

**The Hidden World of Quasi-Crystals: A New Frontier in Material Science** Quasi-crystals, first discovered in 1982 by Dan Shechtman, challenge traditional notions of symmetry in materials science. Unlike regular crystals, which repeat patterns periodically, quasi-crystals exhibit a form of order that is non-repeating yet highly structured. This phenomenon allows for unique properties such as low thermal conductivity and high structural stability. Recent research reveals their potential applications in creating more efficient energy storage systems and advanced coatings. With ongoing studies exploring their role in biomaterials and photonics, quasi-crystals are positioning themselves as a groundbreaking component in the next generation of material science. #MaterialScience #QuasiCrystals #Innovation

📣 Check out the new EHAWEDRY #research on hybrid muscle mechanics! Scientists are investigating how nanoporous silicon, infused with polypyrrole, behaves like muscles in water-based electrolytes. Using advanced techniques like x-ray diffraction and electron tomography, they discovered that the material's response is complex. Despite having isotropic mechanical behavior, the alignment of nanopores leads to different reactions in different directions. This isn't just a simple cylinder setup; it's intricate and heterogeneous. They also found that factors like diffusion and plastic deformation play crucial roles in the material's behavior. This study shows how combining microscopy and X-ray techniques offers a powerful way to understand these materials at a microscopic level.

Our upcoming Nanoscience #RSCNano collection in Nanoscale on metal #nanoclusters is now welcoming submissions! Covering research communicating novel structures, properties and phenomena, where applications for societal needs are appreciated as well as reports of new and exciting basic science, don't miss the opportunity to be part of this exciting collection guest edited by sukhendu mandal, yuichi negishi, Di Sun and Anindita Das! Atomically precise metal nanoclusters are novel materials that have the potential to address everyday needs from energy to health. Luminescent metal clusters can be used for effective and efficient energy harvesting and conversion technologies, while water-soluble luminescent metal clusters offer more efficient and personalized biomedical approaches. Furthermore, nanoclusters can be used as building units to form higher-dimensional cluster-assembled materials and can modulate the optoelectronic properties of desired device materials. To create a hierarchy of structures and applications, a fundamental understanding of the structure-property relationship at the atomic level is vital. This special collection aims to look at new structures, photophysical, chemical and electrochemical catalysis reactions, and structure-property correlations within the themes of atomically precise metal nanoclusters. Prospective topics include but are not limited to, new nanocluster structures, transformation reactions, luminescent materials, light-matter interactions, #catalysis (#photocatalysis and #electrocatalysis), #bioimaging and #sensing, drug delivery, optoelectronic devices and new techniques for characterization. We are welcoming original research articles (communications and full papers) that fall within the scope of the journal and collection.
