A research group led by Prof. ZHANG Wenwu at Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has achieved dynamic structural color display based on femtosecond laser variable polarization processing, in cooperation with researchers at Swinburne University of Technology (SUT) in Australia. The study was published in Adv. ...

The Smart Polymer Materials group led by Prof. CHEN Tao at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has successfully developed a fully-hydrophobic ionogel, which enables high-efficiency wearable underwater sensors and communicators in underwater operations. The study was published in Materials Horizons.

Prof. CHEN Tao’s team at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) developed the aggregation induced emissive (AIE) carbon dots (CDs) glycol gel, which realized powerful octopus-like soft robots with synergistic multi-functionalities. The study was published in Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.

Prof. CHEN Tao’s team at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) developed a flexible and self-adaptive airflow sensor enabled by bioinspired thin-membrane, which is mediated by the reversible microspring effect. The study was published in Advanced Functional Materials.

The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of organic solar cells (OSCs) are demonstrated can be improved via the microstructure morphology fine-tuning of active layer films.
