A dynamic game of hide and seek at the nanoscale

A novel statistical model analyses an electron microscopy movie to reveal atomic rearrangements in nanoparticles over time.

Biophysicists blend incompatible components in one nanofiber

Researchers showed the possibility of blending two incompatible components -- a protein and a polymer -- in one electrospun fiber. The study also demonstrates that the resulting mat can gradually release the protein.

Nanostructured rubber-like material with optimal properties could replace human tissue

Researchers have created a new, rubber-like material with a unique set of properties, which could act as a replacement for human tissue in medical procedures.
