This July JoVE, is proud to launch the first and only scientific video publication for physics and engineering. Historically, JoVE has focused primarily on biomedical research and has developed subsections for Bioengineering, Clinical and Translational Medicine, Immunology and Infection, and Neuroscience. This July, JoVE launches its Applied Physics section, which includes a range of content from Plasma Physics to Materials Science.
The first five articles in Applied Physics demonstrate how to:
- Fabricate polymers with microscopic patterns
- Fabricate CNT forests
Observe early stages of plasma creation - Use nanoparticles to enhance light absorption of solar panels
- Generate micro cavities used in biological and chemical sciences to monitor energy use
“This Month in JoVE” also features two more traditional JoVE articles. First, we look at cardiac physiology and an array that uses NADH fluorescence to visualize heart metabolism, giving us a better understanding of energy consumption by one of the most important organs. We then move to bioengineering, where scientists demonstrate a genetic engineering procedure that demonstrates synthetic spider silk production. This article is a follow up to a 2010 JoVE article which demonstrated microdissection techniques to isolate silk glands from the Black Widow spider.
