Abstract Water-repellent superhydrophobic surfaces are ubiquitous in nature. The fundamental understanding of bio/bio-inspired structures facilitates practical applications surmounting metastable superhydrophobicity. Typically, the hierarch... Read More
Abstract Bioelectronic implants delivering electrical stimulation offer an attractive alternative to traditional pharmaceuticals in electrotherapy. However, achieving simple, rapid, and cost-effective personalization of these implants for c... Read More
Abstract Following an initial nucleation stage at the flake level, atomically thin film growth of a van der Waals material is promoted by ultrafast lateral growth and prohibited vertical growth. To produce these highly anisotropic films, sy... Read More
Abstract Inspired by the adaptive features exhibited by biological organisms like the octopus, soft machines that can tune their shape and mechanical properties have shown great potential in applications involving unstructured and continuou... Read More
Abstract Despite intensive studies over decades, the development of electrocatalysts for acidic water splitting still relies on platinum group metals, especially Pt and Ir, which are scarce, expensive, and poorly sustainable. Because such p... Read More
Abstract Film-type shape-configurable speakers with tunable sound directivity are in high demand for wearable electronics. Flexible, thin thermoacoustic (TA) loudspeakers—which are free from bulky vibrating diaphragms—show promise in this r... Read More
Abstract The majority of waste-heat energy exists in the form of low-grade heat (<100 °C), which is immensely difficult to convert into usable energy using conventional energy-harvesting systems. Thermally regenerative electrochemical cy... Read More
Abstract Self-assembly of nanoparticles (NPs) is a powerful route to constructing higher-order structures. However, the programmed self-assembly of NPs into non-close-packed, 3D, shape-morphing nanocilia arrays remains elusive, whereas dyna... Read More
In history, the synthesis of key materials, such as bronze, steel, polymer, and silicon, represents the most advanced technology of human society. Until now, the discovery of a new material and the development of materials highly depends on... Read More
An international scientific journal that covers a broad spectrum of materials science research has published a special issue, highlighting some of the outstanding works of UNIST. Published on May 17, this special issue presents examples of... Read More
