Could the future of low-power computing be magnetism?

Researchers have made two recent advances in the field of spin-wave logic, or the potential use of magnetic spins to transmit and manipulate data.

Researchers develop new nanoparticle with potential to treat ocular cancer

Researchers have developed a new nanoparticle that uses a tumor cell's protective mechanism against itself - short-circuiting tumor cell metabolism and killing tumor cells.

Tying molecular knots

Researchers report rules to define the order of crossing ends of the DNA chain to obtain rapidly self-tying highly knotted nanostructures.

Self-assembling nano-insulin could mean fewer side effects for diabetics medication

New Research points to an entirely new approach for designing insulin-based pharmaceuticals. The approach could open the door for more personalized medications with fewer side effects for Type 1 Diabetes patients.

New ways to construct contactless magnetic gears (w/video)

A theory which extends the possibilities and applications for smooth magnetic couplings could have several potential applications in nanotechnology, microfluidics and robotics.
