Electronics integrated to the muscle via kirigami

Donut-shaped kirigami device enabling accurate and robust signal acquisition from the muscle.

Liquid flow is influenced by a quantum effect in water

A study sheds new light on the viscosity of aqueous solutions. It shows that, contrary to the traditional view that repulsive interactions between polymers are solely responsible for the increase in viscosity, a nuclear quantum effect between water molecules also has a part to play.

Nanocontainer ships titan-size gene therapies and drugs into cells

Researchers have created a tiny, nanosize container that can slip inside cells and deliver protein-based medicines and gene therapies of any size - even hefty ones attached to the gene-editing tool called CRISPR.

Nanowire captures Abrikosov vortices

Scientists have demonstrated the possibility of detecting the penetration of Abrikosov vortices through the superconductor/ferromagnet interface. The device is a ferromagnetic nanowire bonded to superconductive electrodes.

A sustainable new material for carbon dioxide capture

The new material offers many benefits: it is sustainable, has a high capture rate, and has low operating costs.

Self-cleaning solar panels with nanotextured surfaces

Researchers look to the lotus leaf for self-cleaning innovation.

Electronic map reveals 'rules of the road' in superconductor

Using a clever technique that causes unruly crystals of iron selenide to snap into alignment, physicists have drawn a road map that reveals the quantum 'rules of the road' that electrons must follow in the enigmatic superconductor.
