Researchers grow blood vessels with 2D nanosilicates

Researchers have developed a clay-based platform to deliver therapeutic proteins to the body to assist with the formation of blood vessels.

Hierarchical 3D-printing of nanoporous gold could 'revolutionize' electrochemical reactor design

Scientists report on the hierarchical 3D printing of nanoporous gold, a proof of concept that could revolutionize the design of chemical reactors.

Terahertz spectroscopy enters the single-molecule regime

Researchers showed that long-wavelength terahertz spectroscopy can detect motion of single molecules, not just molecular ensembles. They used a single-molecule transistor design, where pairs of metal electrodes trap isolated C60 molecules, focus the THz beam onto them, and measure current change caused by THz-induced oscillation.

Neutrophil nanosponges soak up proteins that promote rheumatoid arthritis

Engineers have developed neutrophil nanosponges that can safely absorb and neutralize a variety of proteins that play a role in the progression of rheumatoid arthritis.
