Engineers have succeeded in fabricating topological LC circuits arranged in a honeycomb pattern where electromagnetic (EM) waves can propagate without backscattering even when pathways turn sharply. These circuits may be suitable for use as high-frequency electromagnetic waveguides, which would allow miniaturization and high integration in various electronics devices, such as mobile phones. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181226132842.htm

A research team has used plasma treatment to make fluoropolymers and silicone resin adhere without any adhesives. Heat-assisted helium-plasma treatment created oxygen-containing functional groups on PTFE or PFA, while open-air plasma-jetting installed silanol groups on vulcanized PDMS. Under pressure, the treated PDMS strongly adhered to the treated polymers, copper, and glass through covalent and hydrogen bonds of silanol. Adhesive-free adhesion allows resins and polymers to be used in food and medicine industries. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181226132836.htm
