Hepatitis virus-like particles as potential cancer treatment

Researchers have developed a way to use the empty shell of a Hepatitis E virus to carry vaccines or drugs into the body. The technique has been tested in rodents as a way to target breast cancer.

Room-temperature lithium metal battery closer to reality

Researchers proposed in a recent study that by designing nanostructured membranes with pore dimensions below a critical value, it is possible to stop growth of dendrites in lithium batteries at room temperature.

Organic crystals allow creating flexible electronic devices

Scientists have grown organic semiconductor crystals which can reduce the cost of the process of creating light, flexible and transparent light-emitting electronic devices of the new generation.

Researchers work to improve the world through nanocarbons

Team will convert sustainable natural resources into doped nanocarbons.

Leaf-mimicking device harnesses light to purify water

Scientists have come up with a device that mimics two of a leaf's processes - photosynthesis and transpiration - to harness solar energy to purify water.

A versatile optical sensor for the characterization of fluids

Laser self-mixing is a technique usually used for the measurement of low velocities and vibrations. In a new paper, researchers from present how these measurements can be extended to velocities of fluids using additional seeding particles.

Researchers discover new phase of boron nitride

Researchers have discovered a new phase of the material boron nitride, which has potential applications for both manufacturing tools and electronic displays. The researchers have also developed a new technique for creating cubic boron nitride at ambient temperatures and air pressure.
