DNA Origami full of potent anticancer agents

A tailored DNA nanoplatform carries chemotherapeutic drugs and RNA interference toward multidrug-resistant tumors.

Scientists develop enzymes with remote control

Scientists developed a method to enhance the activity of enzymes by using radio frequency radiation. The method requires making a special complex consisting of enzymes and magnetic nanoparticles.

Alginate-graphene oxide hydrogels as smart biomedical materials

By combining seaweed-derived alginate with the nanomaterial graphene oxide, researchers have developed a new material that?s durable and can respond dynamically to its environment.

Physicists study the influence of magnetic field inhomogeneity on the properties of thin-film structures

Researchers have studied the influence of inhomogeneity of magnetic field applied during the fabrication process of thin-film structures made from nickel-iron and iridium-manganese alloys, on their properties.. These systems can be used in various types of magnetic field sensors.

2D-spectroscopy provides new insight into molecular processes

A research team has succeeded for the first time in applying 2D-spectroscopy to isolated molecular systems and thus in tracing the interactive processes at a molecular level more precisely.

Atom-by-atom construction of an artificial molecule

Using hydrogen lithography, researchers have constructed an artificial molecule that both meets the electronic structure definition and demonstrates a nontrivial geometry: a cyclic atomic configuration spanning three dimer rows.

Porous materials measure temperature at molecular level

Using advanced computer simulations, they found that the temperature at which metal-organic frameworks suddenly expand or shrink is tuneable. Their results allow the design of thermostats that work at the molecular level.

Silk adhesive paves the way for epidermal electronics

Researchers employed a calcium-modified silk fibroin as a biocompatible and strong adhesive. This technology led to the development of epidermal electronics with strong adhesion for patients who need drug injections and physiological monitoring over a long time.

Nanopore detection of single flu viruses to control outbreaks

Study shows that label-free digital diagnostics based on nanopore analytics and AI technology can characterize individual virions by their distinct physical features.
