Nanoparticle vaccine for COVID-19

Researchers are working to develop a single-dose vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 that could potentially be stored at room temperature.

A beginner's guide to DNA origami

Researchers who have studied DNA origami for years, have compiled the first detailed tutorial on the technique. Their comprehensive report provides a step-by-step guide to designing DNA origami nanostructures, using state-of-the-art tools.

Nanosheet-based electronics could be one drop away

A surprisingly simple method improves 'drop casting' fabrication of tiled nanosheets that could be used in next-generation electronic devices. All you need is a pipette and a hotplate.

Fast transport in carbon nanotube membranes could advance human health

Researchers have discovered that carbon nanotube membrane pores could enable ultra-rapid dialysis processes that would greatly reduce treatment time for hemodialysis patients.

Engineers find antioxidants improve nanoscale visualization of polymers

Reactive molecules, such as free radicals, can be produced in the body after exposure to certain environments or substances and go on to cause cell damage. Antioxidants can minimize this damage by interacting with the radicals before they affect cells.

Nanocrystals that eradicate bacteria biofilm

Researchers demonstrate a technology for removing antibiotic-resistant bacteria by controlling the surface texture of nanomaterials.

Nanomaterial-based biosensing platform detects COVID-19 antibodies in 10-12 seconds

In addition to testing, the platform will help to quantify patient immunological response to the new vaccines with precision.
