Medicine & TechnologyResearchers have developed a new nanoparticle vector made from polypeptide-based materials that are adaptable to various therapies, including gene therapy, for a more effective delivery system.
Viruses spread in a variety of media - from droplets and aerosols carried by air, to being carried by water - and a new filter membrane shows promise in blocking these pathogens.
Graphene has become one of the most interesting materials discovered by mankind. Creating this material involves great precision and cost, limiting the volume in which it can be manufactured - and a new approach using HPC could work around this problem.
Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has been identified as the toughest among 2D materials - its unparalleled resistance to breakage has defied an old method of describing toughness.
After tests run on human blood in laboratory conditions, researchers found that certain nanocapsules could help reduce dangerous side effects of blood clot drugs, and could potentially make it more effective at lower doses.
A newly developed strategy to solve electromigration could potentially extend the life and performance of devices based on nanoelectronics and semiconductors.
A new class of nanomaterials, called self-aware metamaterials, could supposedly generate their own power and sense changes in their environment - ushering the next material of fabricated living structures.
Researchers recently shared their goal of soon enabling clothes like pair of jeans and a jacket among others, to one day, charge a mobile phone and other electronic gadgets through clean energy.
In the never-ending search for ways to harness energy, researchers are looking at a new method - using your clothes to harvest your own kinetic energy and power your electronic devices.
Thermoelectric power is becoming a feasible alternative for clean energy with the discovery of new materials - and a new layered crystal containing rhenium and silicon could usher the future of these devices.
Ultra-stiff graphene was a result of optical forging in a recent study to cater to nanomechanical experiments. The flimsy structure of the graphene is now solved with a workaround.
