NIH grant to bioprint nanoparticles for ovarian cancer immunotherapy

The particles will be produced using 3D-bioprinting, enabling them to be released at specified intervals, instead of a continuous slow release.

Polymers can fine-tune attractions between suspended nanocubes

Interactions between hollow silica nanocubes suspended in a solution can be adjusted by varying the concentration of polymer molecules added to the mixture.

Researchers pioneer new production method for heterostructure devices based on 2D materials

The new study focuses on a production method, based around mechanical abrasion, where multilayer structures are formed through directly abrading different Van der Waals material powders directly on top of one another.

Engineers design a device that operates like a brain synapse

Ion-based technology may enable energy-efficient simulations of the brain's learning process, for neural network AI systems.

'Nanotorch' highlights ultrafast biochemical reactions

Researchers used single nanoparticles that illuminate single fluorescent molecules to detect ultrafast biochemical reactions.

The new architecture of science: Learning from graphene

What does it mean to design a science lab today? What are the new challenges for the architects of science buildings? And what is the best method to study the constantly evolving architectures of science?
