Scientists develop revolutionary nanotechnology heart attack sensor

An international collaboration of scientists has developed a tiny electric sensor, which could potentially improve patient survival rates by telling doctors if a person has had a heart attack.

Breakthrough in the synthetic replication of composite-material structures found in Mother of pearl

Researchers synthetically replicate the mineralisation process that takes place in natural nacre.

A new way of taming ions can improve future health care

Researchers have discovered a completely new way of using lasers to accelerate ion beams.

Novel nanoscale detection of real-time DNA amplification holds promise for diagnostics

Scientists develop a label-free method for detecting DNA amplification in real time based on refractive index changes in diffracted light.

En route to better transformers

Researchers ave found a way of looking inside the iron core of transformers. The better their iron cores are magnetized, the less energy they lose and the more efficiently they work.

Translating the power of organometallic catalysis to the mitochondria of living cells

Researchers report the first demonstration of a non-natural chemical reaction in a subcellular compartment.

New breed of optical soliton wave discovered

Applied scientists have discovered a new type of optical soliton wave that travels in the wake of other soliton waves, hitching a ride on and feeding off of the energy of the other wave.
