Sodium-ion batteries
Flexible power sources
Wearable electronics
Abstract
Researchers at USC have developed a method to deposit red phosphorus nanodots densely and uniformly onto reduced graphene oxide sheets to minimize the sodium ion diffusion length and the sodiation/desodiation stresses, and the reduced graphene oxide network also serves as...

Treatment of retinal detachment
Abstract
USC researchers have developed a patch to reattach a detached retina. The device is composed of a polymeric substrate coated on both surfaces with an adhesive compound such that retinal tissue can be re- bonded back to the inner wall of the eye. The patch can be used as an effective and easy-to-use temporary...

Battlefield wounds
Emergency medical situations and surgeries
Abstract
USC scientists and engineers have developed a reversible temperature-sensitive hydrogel that can seal eye injuries on the spot. The modified gel is liquid at room temperature and transitions to a solid with strong adhesive properties when heated. This seal can be removed simply...
