Exploring nanodevices in real-time

New atomic-scale study aims to discover the mechanical behavior of nanodevices through direct, real-time observation.

Novel antibacterial glasses prevent the infections associated with surgical implants

A recent study has demonstrated the ability of three glass coatings to control peri-implant infection and subsequent disease.

Novel nanoparticles for image-guided phototherapy could improve ovarian cancer treatments

Scientists are investigating a biodegradable nanomedicine that can selectively destroy ovarian cancer cells left behind after surgery. These findings are a step forward in the development of targeted therapies for hard-to-treat cancers.

Newly developed cell transplantation delivery method could treat traumatic brain injury

Applying magnetic field to stem cells labeled with iron oxide nanoparticles helps guide cells to TBI site.

Scientists predict behaviour of charge currents in graphene

A physicist has devised a new method that can realistically predict the behaviour of electric currents as they pass through materials.

Atomic-resolution microscopy answers longstanding questions about lithium-rich cathode material

Scientists unravel structural ambiguities in lithium-rich transition metal oxides.
