First 3D observation of nanomachines working inside cells

Scientists combine genetic engineering, super-resolution microscopy and biocomputation to allow them to see in 3D the protein machinery inside living cells.

Sound waves create nanoparticle whirlpools to round up tiny signs of disease

New technique could form the basis of a small, inexpensive point-of-care device for early disease diagnosis.

Graphene demonstrates remarkable potential as life-saving antioxidant

Treated particles of graphene derived from carbon nanotubes have demonstrated remarkable potential as life-saving antioxidants, but as small as they are, something even smaller had to be created to figure out why they work so well.

First step towards photonic quantum network

Advanced photonic nanostructures are well on their way to revolutionising quantum technology for quantum networks based on light. Researchers have now developed the first building blocks needed to construct complex quantum photonic circuits for quantum networks.

Researchers control adhesive material remotely with light

Bioinspired intelligent material transports micro-objects.

The first glimpse of a single protein

A folded protein molecule can be clearly imaged with the help of electron holograms.

How water can split into two liquids below zero

Theoretical possibility of the coexistence of dual liquid states of matter in sub-zero water due to the origami-like stacking behavior of microscale moleculesy.
