New biosensor stimulates sweat even when patient is resting and cool

The device the size of a Band-Aid could revolutionize remote diagnosis and monitoring.

Microbot origami can capture, transport single cells (w/video)

Researchers have developed a way to assemble and pre-program tiny structures made from microscopic cubes to change their shape when actuated by a magnetic field and then, using the magnetic energy from their environment, perform a variety of tasks - including capturing and transporting single cells.

Simultaneous design and nanomanufacturing speeds up fabrication

An interdisciplinary team of researchers has used mathematics and machine learning to design an optimal material for light management in solar cells, then fabricated the nanostructured surfaces simultaneously with a new nanomanufacturing technique.

Carbonitride aerogels mediate the photocatalytic conversion of water.

Quantum magnets doped with holes

Scientists reveal hidden magnetic order in one-dimensional quantum crystals doped with holes.

New model for bimolecular reactions in nanoreactors

Theoretical physicists have devised a mathematical model of two different molecules reacting within so called nanoreactors that act as catalysts.

Nanoparticles trick body into accepting organ transplants

Using nanoparticles, researchers have developed a drug-delivery system that could reduce organ transplant complications by hiding the donated tissue from the recipient's immune system.
