Human muscle-inspired Hercules artificial muscle fiber
Prof. Sang Ouk Kim’s group has developed robust and durable actuator fibers by incorporating 2D graphene fillers in aligned liquid crystal elastomer matrix; these fibers surpass the strength and toughness of human muscle. The reversible percolation of the graphene filler network within the composite structure upon contraction/recovery actuation offers interesting electrical switching behavior, as well as work capacity and power density far beyond those of human or mammalian muscles....read more

Selective and Efficient Photocatalytic Conversion of CO2 with Ultrathin Nanosheets
Prof. Doh Chang Lee’s group has developed a novel photocatalyst based on ultrathin CdS nanosheets for selective and efficient light-driven conversion of CO2 into CO. Surface engineering at atomic precision on CdS nanosheets enabled spatial separation of the reductive active sites and the oxidative active sites to designated facets. The facet-resolved redox-active sites favored efficient charge separation in the CdS nanosheets under light, leading to two-orders-of-magnitude increase in conversion rate of CO2-to-CO. ...read more
