A team of researchers led by the University of California San Diego have discovered what’s responsible for making the teeth of the deep-sea dragonfish transparent. This unique adaptation, which helps camouflage the dragonfish from their prey, results from their teeth having an unusually crystalline nanostructure mixed with amorphous regions. The findings could provide “bioinspiration” for researchers looking to develop transparent ceramics.

Kevin Golovin, a graduate student in materials science and engineering at U-M, demonstrates a new rubbery material that can create ice repelling, or "icephobic," coatings on a variety of materials, such as windshields or ship hulls. The research is being done under the direction of Anish Tuteja, an associate professor in U-M's Department of Materials Science & Engineering.

These natural rubber (NR) latex particles interact with each others during the coagulation process and the interactions can be viewed under STEM mode after the sample was swelled by styrene and hardened by the subsequent polymerization process. This enables room temperature sectioning using a microtome. The unsaturated NR molecules can be stained with Osmium to increase the contrast of the image under TEM imaging.

Scientists have been making nanoparticles for more than two decades in two-dimensional sheets, three-dimensional crystals and random clusters. But they have never been able to get a sheet of nanoparticles to curve or fold into a complex three-dimensional structure. Now researchers from the University of Chicago, the University of Missouri and the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have found a simple way to do exactly that.
The findings open the way for scientists to design membranes with tunable electrical, magnetic and mechanical properties that could be used in electronics and may even have implications for understanding biological systems. Read more »
The research used resources at the Center for Nanoscale Materials (CNM), Advanced Photon Source (APS), the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF), and the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center.
