Next Generation 3D-Printed Optical-Electronic Integration

FsLDW allows the fabrication of higher-level microstructures to manipulate light signals, including the waveguide coupled microdisks for light remote control and the coupled double-microdisk resonators for laser mode selection

DNA Nanorobots Target HER2-Positive Breast Cancer Cells

A DNA nanorobot can target breast cancer cells for destruction. About 20% of breast cancers make high levels of a protein called human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 of HER2, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Pantry Ingredients Can Help Grow Carbon Nanotubes

Sodium-containing compounds are surprisingly effective ingredients for cooking up carbon nanotubes Table salt, detergent, and baking soda are effective ingredients for creating carbon nanotubes, researchers at MIT have found out.

Bending the Norm on Nanowires

New methods of arranging silver nanowires make them more durable, shows a study by KAUST. Nanowires form transparent and flexible conductive layers that can be used for improved stain sensors, solar cells and next-generation mobile phones.
