Building 'ToxAll' - a smart, self-assembling nano-vaccine to prevent toxoplasmosis

A team of researchers are developing a toolbox of self-assembling nanoparticles to be used as vaccines against infections including the parasitic Toxoplasma gondii.

Nano-thermometers could revolutionize temperature imaging

Cheaper refrigerators? Stronger hip implants? A better understanding of human disease? All of these could be possible and more, someday, thanks to an ambitious new project to design and build a fleet of tiny ultra-sensitive thermometers.

Researchers create a single-molecule switch - a step toward ever-smaller electronics

A team of researchers has demonstrated for the first time a single-molecule electret - a device that could be one of the keys to molecular computers.

Wearable IT devices: Dyeing process gives textiles electronic properties

In their test runs, the researchers have produced gloves that can digitally capture hand movements, a zipper that transmits different electric currents depending on the degree of opening, and sports tapes that act as user interfaces that are attached to the body.

The perfect angle for e-skin energy storage

The trick to extremely thin supercapacitors with improved performance is spraying graphene ink at an angle.
