Using lipid nanoparticles to precisely target gene editing to the liver

Gene editing delivery method in mice suggests possible one shot treatment of high cholesterol.

Researchers propose source mask optimization technique for extreme ultraviolet lithography

Researchers have proposed a source mask optimization technique for extreme-ultraviolet lithography based on thick mask model and social learning particle swarm optimization (SL-PSO) algorithm.

Through the looking glass: artificial 'molecules' open door to ultrafast polaritonic devices

Scientists have shown that polaritons, the quirky particles that may end up running the quantum supercomputers of the future, can form structures behaving like molecules - and these 'artificial molecules' can potentially be engineered on demand.

Researchers watch anti-cancer drug release from DNA nanostructures in real time

Findings provide insights into tunable drug delivery and new design paradigms of DNA-based drug-carriers.

New skills of graphene: Tunable lattice vibrations

Researchers have demonstrated a graphene-based phononic crystal whose resonant frequency can be tuned over a broad range and has used a helium-ion microscope to produce such a crystal. This is a real breakthrough in the field of phononics.

Virtually unlimited solar cell experiments

Researchers use machine learning to design and virtually test molecules for organic solar cells, which can lead to higher efficiency functional materials for renewable energy applications.
