Scientists develop novel nano-vaccine for melanoma

Injection of nanoparticle has proven effective in mouse models, researchers say.

Unique electrical properties in quantum materials can be controlled using light

New research on Weyl semimetals, a class of quantum materials, unlocks unique quantum properties that can be used to create light-controlled electronic devices in the future.

Producing simple fluorescent surfactants

Laboratories use surfactants to separate things, and fluorescent dyes to see things. Now, chemists have combined the two to simplify life for scientists everywhere.

Researchers embrace imperfection to improve biomolecule transport

While watching the production of porous membranes used for DNA sorting and sequencing, researchers wondered how tiny steplike defects formed during fabrication could be used to improve molecule transport. They found that the defects make a big difference in how molecules move along a membrane surface.

Using quantum dots and a smartphone to find killer bacteria

A combination of off-the-shelf quantum dots and a smartphone camera soon could allow doctors to identify antibiotic-resistant bacteria in just 40 minutes, potentially saving patient lives.
