On May 22nd, Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), held the 2021 Public Science Day, attracting nearly 700 teachers and students from more than ten primary and middle schools in Ningbo.
05/12/2021Artificial Color-changing Material that Mimics Chameleon Skin Can Detect Seafood Freshness
Scientists in China and Germany have designed an artificial color-changing material that mimics chameleon skin, with luminogens (molecules that make crystals glow) organized into different core and shell hydrogel layers instead of one uniform matrix. The findings, published May 6 in the journal Cell Reports Physical Science, demonstrate that a two-luminogen hydrogel chemosen...
