Magnetically targeted drugs

Magnetic particles allow drugs to be released at precise times and in specific areas.

Drawing inspiration from natural marvels to make new materials

Researchers want to recreate the chemistries found in natural materials and build similar structures in synthetic materials. By doing so, they can develop new, improved materials for use in sensors, healthcare applications, and much more.

Researchers realize world's thinnest optical hologram with 2-D material monolayer

Work could lead to the creation of smart watches with holographic displays, printed security cryptograms.

A painless skin patch simplifies diagnostic tests

Researchers have developed a skin patch with tiny needles that painlessly collect interstitial fluid (ISF) for testing.

Cellulose nanofiber filter from algae could save lives

Researchers show that a previously unexploited green macroalgae species could be used to extract cellulose nanofibers, which can then be formed into paper sheets with tailored pore size that are utilized for point-of-use water treatment.

First quantum simulation of 3D topological matter with ultracold atoms

Physicists have successfully created the world's first 3D simulation of topological matter consisting of ultracold atoms.

Spinning lightwaves on a one-way street: Researchers document a quantum spin wave for light

Researchers have created a quantum spin wave for light. This can be a carrier of information for future nanotechnologies but with a unique twist: they only flow in one direction.
