A new minimally invasive device to treat cancer and other illnesses
Medicine diffusion capsule could locally treat multiple ailments and diseases over several weeks.
Fast, efficient sperm tails inspire nanobiotechnology
Scientists recreate a 10-step biological pathway with all the enzymes tethered to nanoparticles.
For the first time, scientists catch water molecules passing the proton baton
An international team of researchers has finally caught water in the act - showing how water molecules pass along excess charges and, in the process, conduct electricity.
Controlling chain conformations to enhance electronic devices
Controlling the way fluorinated polymer chains twist and turn may enable fast and flexible electrical circuits. The findings may offer substantial impact on the development of new polymer-type materials used in flexible electronic applications.
Perovskite solar cells hit new world efficiency record
12.1 percent efficiency for 16 cm2 cell is the largest single to be independently certified with highest energy conversion efficiency.
A cleaner, more efficient car? Researchers design new material to better store hydrogen fuel
A researcher has designed new materials that could be used to store hydrogen fuel more efficiently in vehicles or other devices that use clean energy.
New findings boost promise of molybdenum sulfide for hydrogen catalysis
Scientists have found that molybdenum sulfide (MoS2) holds more promise than previously thought as a catalyst for producing hydrogen to use as a clean energy source. Specifically, they found that the entire surface of MoS2 can be used as a catalyst, not just the edges of the material.
Biodegradable polymers made by chemical vapor deposition
Researchers have now introduced the first CVD method for producing degradable polymers. Biomolecules or drugs can be attached by means of special side groups. This introduces new possibilities for applications like the coating of biodegradable implants.
Mimicking bug eyes could brighten reflective signs and clothes
Inspired by the structure of insect eyes, scientists have developed new materials that could improve the color and effectiveness of these safeguards.
Making graphene using laser-induced phase separation
Researchers clarify how laser annealing technology can lead to production of ultrathin nanomaterials.
Quantum Friction: Beyond the local equilibrium approximation
Scientists report on detailed new physical insights of non-equilibrium atom-surface quantum friction.
Researchers take first look into the 'eye' of majoranas
Majorana fermions are particles that could potentially be used as information units for a quantum computer. An experiment by physicists has confirmed their theory that Majorana fermions can be generated and measured on a superconductor at the end of wires made from single iron atoms.
Improving the mechanical properties of polymer gels through molecular design
Research team develops new approach to strengthen polymer gels by changing the length of polymer 'thread' per molecular 'bead'.
