New targeted drug effectively dissolves blood clots, has fewer side effects

Scientists have developed a magnetically controlled drug that can be condensed on a blood clot by means of a magnetic field.

Soft decoupling of organic molecules on metal

An international team has discovered an elegant way to decouple organic nanosheets grown on metal surfaces.

Nanotechnology could make our food tastier and healthier - but can we stomach it?

While this nanotechnology could significantly enhance our food, it also raises big questions about safety. We only have to look at the strong reaction against genetically modified foods to see how important this issue is. How can we ensure that nanotechnology in food will be different?

Development of safe and durable high-temperature lithium-sulfur batteries

Researchers have developed safe and durable high-temperature Li-S batteries using by a new coating technique called molecular layer deposition technology for the first time.

Proper breeding ground for germanene

Previous attempts to grow germanene show that these attractive properties seem to vanish when it is grown on a metal surface: a good conductor of current. To prevent this, scientists chose the semiconductor MoS2 as the substrate material.
