Concerns of use of nanotechnologies in the field of brain-machine interfaces

Results from a citizen dialogue on the role of nanotechnologies in the field of brain-machine interfaces, organized by Nano2All, a EU Horizon 2020 project.

'Sticky' nanoparticles promise more precise drug delivery for brain cancer

A research team has found that by tinkering with the surface properties of drug-loaded nanoparticles, they can potentially direct these particles to specific cells in the brain.

New method: water mapping around solutes

Chemists have developed a new method that allows them to map changes in the dynamics and structure of water molecules in the vicinity of solutes.

Magnetic order in a two-dimensional molecular chessboard

In new work, researchers show that magnetic order can be created in a two-dimensional chessboard lattice consisting of organometallic molecules that are only one atomic layer thick.

Controlled creation of large-scale quantum emitter arrays

Researchers have created large scale arrays of these quantum emitters in different transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) materials. This new approach leads to large quantities of on-demand, single photon emitters, paving the way for integrating ultra-thin, single photons in electronic devices.

Wafer-thin ferrimagnet developed for future quantum technologies

For the first time, researchers have now produced a wafer-thin ferrimagnet, in which molecules with different magnetic centers arrange themselves on a gold surface to form a checkerboard pattern.

New therapy for atherosclerosis based on nanopolymer

Researchers have developed a new therapy to treat atherosclerosis and prevent heart failure with a new biomedical polymer that reduces arterial plaque and inflammation in the cardiovascular system.
