Metal-polymer nanocomposites produced by supersonic cluster beam implantation with tunable electrical, optical and mechanical properties
Prof. Paolo Milani
Dept. of Physics, University of Milano, Italy
Abstract
Stretchable functional materials are enabling ingredients for the fabrication of wearable electronics, smart prosthetics and soft robotics. These applications require the integration of electronic, optical and actuation capabilities on soft, conformable and biocompatible polymeric substrates [1].
Recently it has been demonstrated that neutral metallic nanoparticles produced in the gas phase and aerodynamically accelerated in a supersonic expansion can be implanted in a polymeric substrate to form a conductive nanocomposite with superior resilience and interesting structural and functional properties [2-4]. This approach is called supersonic cluster beam implantation (SCBI).
Here I present experimental and theoretical results about the production of devices based on...

From Cephalopods to Microscopy and Back Again
Ruth A Byrne, PhD; Medical University of Vienna, Austria.
For the last ten years, Dr. Byrne has studied cephalopods at the Konrad Lorenz Institute for Evolution and Cognition Research, universities in the USA and Israel, and beneath the pristine waters of the Caribbean. She first investigated behavioral lateralization and arm use in the Common Octopus, and subsequently the complex body pattern communication system of the Caribbean Reef Squid. Most recently, she has been working on human cell biology.
