New nanotherapy offers hope in treating drug-resistant renal cell carcinoma

Scientists have developed a nanoplatform technology that works in combination with existing chemotherapeutic drugs that may reverse drug-resistance in renal cell carcinoma.

Viral RNA sensing

Optical detection of picomolar concentrations of RNA using switches in plasmonic chirality.

'Papertronics' could fold, biodegrade and be the basis for the next generation of devices

Instead of adding more trash to the ever-growing piles of electroic waste, researchers are looking to the emerging field of paper-based electronics - known as papertronics. They?re flexible - even foldable - sustainable, friendly to the environment and low-cost.

Ultrathin organic photodetectors put wearable diagnostics at one?s fingertips

A polymer that maintains its light-sensing capabilities while wrapped around a fingertip could be used in low-cost diagnostic devices that are comfortable to wear.

Two-dimensional multibit optoelectronic memory

Scientists have developed multibit optoelectronic memory using a heterostructure made of two-dimensional (2D) materials for next generation devices.

Graphene bilayer provides efficient transport and control of spins

Physicists have have built an optimized bilayer graphene device which displays both long spin lifetimes and electrically controllable spin-lifetime anisotropy. It has the potential for practical applications such as spin-based logic devices.
