United States

Not only have visible light invisibility cloaks, but also hidden sound clothing; self-assembled nano-ropes are not inferior to natural materials; hydrogen storage, light-harvesting, strongest light absorption and lightest materials have also been successfully developed.

Mao Li (resident in the United States) In January, researchers developed a "hidden clothing" that is not detected by sonar. It is a sound circuit made of ultra-medium materials that can be bent or Reverse to control the sound waves. In the same month, scientists used the principle of repeatedly forming covalent bonds between atoms to develop a polymer material with super-self-repairing ability, which is cross-linked by trithiocarbonate. It needs to be irradiated with ultraviolet rays to re-grow it together.

In February, scientists exposed ordinary sucrose to flowing hydrogen and argon under heating and low pressure, and produced pure monolayer graphene in 10 minutes. The thickness can be controlled by adjusting the flow of gas. In the same year, other scientists found a simple way to produce graphene: by burning pure magnesium in dry ice, it can directly convert carbon dioxide into multilayer graphene.

In March, scientists developed a nanocomposite that efficiently stores hydrogen. The material consists of magnesium metal and polymer, which can quickly absorb and release hydrogen at room temperature.

In June, scientists designed a material with a variable refractive index and converted it into a new metamaterial. The first visible "visual cloak" was developed to make objects with heights of 300 nm and 6 microns wide disappear from visible light. ". In the same month, scientists made progress on the development of self-assembled nanomaterials with the complexity and function of natural materials. They “induced” the polymer peptidomimetic chains to self-assemble into nano-ropes, which are close to natural biomaterials and are very robust. It is enough to cope with harsh environments such as heat and dryness.

In September, American and Japanese scientists developed a unique new superconductor based on ruthenium. It can reach the "quantum critical point" in its natural state, and this discovery breaks through the limitations of theoretical physics. In addition, the scientists bonded two non-magnetic insulators together, and the study demonstrated for the first time that magnetic and superconductivity can coexist.

In November, the newly developed ultra-black material of the scientist is called “the most absorbable light”. It absorbs almost all the light that is irradiated on it (from ultraviolet to far infrared), and the absorption rate exceeds 99%. In the same month, the scientists newly developed The world's lightest material is dense, and its energy absorption performance is similar to that of synthetic rubber, but it is 100 times lighter than polystyrene foam.

United Kingdom

Liu Haiying (Reporter in the UK) In February, an international research team of researchers from the United Kingdom, the United States and South Korea announced that they had invented a new method that would efficiently use a variety of specialities within a few hours using ultrasonic pulses. The layered material is made of a graphene-like nanochip having only one atom thick. The method is low-cost and can be used for large-scale industrial production. In July, scientists at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom observed that the interaction between electrons in graphene and the speed of electron movement is several tens of times that in silicon. The discovery further reveals graphene. Electrical performance; in August, British scientists found that the combination of graphene and metal nanostructures can increase the concentrating power of graphene by 20 times, thus changing the efficiency of graphene due to concentrating light (only absorbed on it) 3% of the light to generate electricity) is difficult to apply to the drawbacks of the next generation of optoelectronic devices; in October, the University of Manchester scientists assembled two layers of boron nitrate and two graphene into a multi-layer structure, allowing scientists to observe When graphene is not affected by the environment, it can eliminate the negative effects of the surrounding environment and control the electrical properties of graphene. In November, scientists at the University of Cambridge in the UK used the ordinary household printer to print the graphene. The flexible circuit makes it possible to manufacture wearable electronic devices on a large scale and cheaply, and the application space of graphene is further expand.

In addition to graphene, the results of British scientists in the field of new materials in 2011 include: In February, British scientists discovered that spherical carbon molecules fullerene can form a single component colloid under certain conditions. The existence of this "inflection point" colloid consisting entirely of carbon gives scientists a better grasp of the properties of fullerenes as a whole, making the development and application of fullerenes a step forward. In July, the international research team of the United Kingdom, the United States and Singapore developed a "super material" that built a zero refractive index. The new photonic nanostructure enables scientists to manipulate the refractive index of light and fully control the propagation of light in the air.

This micro-nano structure layer which deposits impact-resistant polyurethane on a plastic film in a vacuum box by using a plasma technique can prevent icing and ice from sticking because there is no nucleus available for icing on the surface.

In March, scientists at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany used the "laser direct writing method (DLS)" to create a special anti-protein polymer scaffold with a square protein linker and successfully used to culture target cells. . This is the first time to achieve precise control of cell attachment and cell morphology in a three-dimensional structure.

In June, scientists from the Institute of Metal Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Hamburg-Harburg Institute of Technology in Germany developed a "hybrid" material. The material consists of nanoporous gold, solution and metal-solution interface. Its strength and plastic deformation ability can be adjusted quickly, greatly and reciprocally by applying electrical signals.

In September, scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Polymer Applications in Germany developed a smart sunscreen glass. The glass consists of a layer of glass sandwiched with a resin film containing polymer microcapsules. When the temperature reaches a certain height, the glass changes from transparent to fuzzy, and 30% to 50% of the solar heat is isolated. After the temperature drops, The glass will become transparent again.

In November, scientists at Ruhr University in Bochum and Aachen University of Technology developed a new method for the production of vascular implants using a special weaving technique, making this stent made of modern shape memory alloy economically straightforward. Woven from titanium-nickel alloy wire, the cost of such a bracket is reduced because no expensive laser cutting process is required.

This new method breaks through these limitations and therefore has broad application prospects.

Researchers at Kyoto University have developed a new manufacturing method that can greatly improve the efficiency of dye-sensitized polymer photocells. The dye-sensitized polymer photocell has been highly regarded as a low-cost next-generation organic photocell, but its power generation efficiency has been lower than that of the currently popular silicon photocell. The success of this new manufacturing method has increased its power generation efficiency by 50%, which is conducive to the gradual popularization of organic photovoltaic cells.

Researchers at the Industrial Technology Research Institute have developed a new type of photothermal power generation element that uses carbon nanotubes to generate electricity even when buried in the body. The results of this research will provide new tools for the future supply of embedded medical devices in the body.
