When magnetotactic microswimmers condense like cold atoms

Scientists show that under certain circumstances magnetic field sensing microswimmers can self-organize into a new phase whose theoretical description shares formal similarities with that of ultra-cold quantum gases.

Nanometric sandwich technology improves sensitivity of rapid tests

This is the first time that scientists have developed a medical testing system by coupling metal nanostructures with an electrical insulator.

Probing composite materials to make better batteries

Researchers found that when an ion-conducting polymer composite is placed in an electric field, it forms ion-rich hotspots that continue to grow for hours after the field is removed.

Scientists find an innovative way to use nanofluids in heat exchangers

Power engineers suggest improving the operation of heat exchangers by using two types of nanofluids and nano additives correctly.

Capturing the contours of live cells with novel nanoimaging technique using graphene

Scientists have found a way to keep living, wet cells viable in an ultra-high-vacuum environment, using graphene, allowing accurate high-resolution visualization of the undistorted molecular structure and distribution of lipids in cell membranes.
