Nanoengineered pot of gold engineered to help with early disease detection

Researchers have developed biosensors that use nanoengineered porous gold, which more effectively detect early signs of disease, potentially improving patient outcomes.

Transparent near-infrared perovskite light-emitting diodes

Researchers have developed transparent near-infrared light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that could be integrated into the displays of smart-watches, smart-phones and augmented or virtual reality devices.

Scientists get atomistic picture of platinum catalyst degradation

Scientists have come up with an atomistic picture to explain why and how platinum catalysts degrade.

Researchers develop flat lens a thousand times thinner than a human hair

The lens can be used to produce high-resolution images with a wide field of view. It can serve as a camera lens in smartphones and can be used in other devices that depend on sensors (high resolution wide angle selfie obtained using metalens.

Machine learning peeks into nano-aquariums

In the nanoworld, tiny particles such as proteins appear to dance as they transform and assemble to perform various tasks while suspended in a liquid. Recently developed methods have made it possible to watch and record these otherwise-elusive tiny motions, and researchers now take a step forward by developing a machine learning workflow to streamline the process.

Researchers develop ultra-long circulating nanoparticle to treat chronic myeloid leukemia

By conjugating CHMFL-ABL-053 to an amphiphilic polymer and self-assembling into a nanoparticle with a high loading, researchers have developed an ultra-long circulating nanomaterial.

Engineered nanomaterials improve salt tolerance in plants

Researchers showed the promoting effects of single-walled carbon nanohorns and ZnO nanoparticles on plant growth and salt tolerance in Sophora alopecuroides seedlings.
