Medicine & TechnologyA bright potential treatment for stroke combines the mechanisms of photosynthesis and nanoparticles in a new "nano-photosynthetic" system, that is said to reduce dying neurons, improve motor function, and help new blood vessels grow.
Graphene nanoribbon shows interesting physical, thermal, optical, and electrical properties due to the interplay between their structures, specifically crystal and electronic structures.
Gears and transmission systems are among the most widely used mechanical systems today, and a new study could take its basic concepts down to the molecular level.
A new study presents athletes, motorists and soldiers could lead safer lives through 'nanocages,' resulting from a new process that could lead to a more effective and reusable shield from shock and impact, explosion, and vibration.
Researchers from Ohio State University developed software that could easily create DNA robots and nanodevices that could do complex tasks such as drug delivery and pathogen detection in the human body.
Researchers have created a nanothin layer on wound dressings and implants made of black phosphorous, which they found to be effective in killing 99% of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
A new class of magnetic nanodevices could soon have their magnetism electrically controlled after a new observation from physicists show a new kind of rotation - one that is possible in materials composed of light elements.
In the ongoing pursuit for materials for electronic devices, researchers turn to the natural world in order to find alternatives that solve the issues of cost and availability - and crab shells might offer a solution.
Researchers successfully demonstrated that adding clusters of gold nanoparticles to shape-memory polymers, then stretching them, changes their plasmon-coupling traits, allowing them to have different and beneficial optical properties.
Researchers from UW Medicine and the NIH have developed a new nanoparticle flu vaccine that can block seasonal and pandemic influenza strains that current vaccines cannot do.
A recently-published study of electronic states' changing shape induced by such interactions, has potential application in using molecules as "individually addressable units."
