New nanoparticles wait to release drugs, target infection

A novel way to fight sepsis.

Magnetization in small components can now be filmed in the laboratory

Technique for imaging magnetization dynamics developed in a joint project.

Engineers protect artifacts by graphene gilding

Inspired by ancient gilding processes, engineers have added a single layer of graphene on top of metal leaves, thereby doubling the protective quality of gilding against wear and tear.

Breakthrough opens door to $100 ultrasound machine

Engineers have developed a new ultrasound transducer, or probe, that could dramatically lower the cost of ultrasound scanners to as little as $100. Their patent-pending innovation is portable, wearable and can be powered by a smartphone.

Carbon nanodots do an ultrafine job with in vitro lung tissue

New work with carbon nanodots seeks to provide the first model of how ultrafine carbon-based particles interact with the lung tissues.

A one-size-fits-all master equation could pave the way towards better design of 2D material electronics

By employing a rigorous theoretical analysis, researchers have developed a new theory to describe different variants of 2D-material-based Schottky diodes under a unifying framework.

Scientists have discovered a novel color-generation mechanism in nature

Similar structures could one day be used for brighter cosmetics and better fibre optics.
