A new all-in-one industrial laser unit is marking a broad spectrum of materials.
Sang-Woo Kim: Executive Advisory Board member for Advanced Electronic Materials
We talk to Sang-Woo Kim on his appointment to the Executive Advisory Board for Advanced Electronic Materials.
Easily functionalized DNA for better conductivity
Nanowires can be produced by pulling DNA over micropillar arrays, leaving a simple overcoating step to improve conductivity.
Crosslinking hydrogels for better micrometer cell manipulation
International researchers have reported reported a crosslinker – an activated-ester-type photocleavable crosslinker – to prepare photodegradable hydrogels.
Gold nanoparticles kill aggressive brain cancer cells
A collaboration between nano- and neuroscientists has resulted in a system that kills the most aggressive, and most common, form of adult brain cancer.
Superhydrophobic nonwovens from naturally occurring polymers
a Japanese/German collaboration has succeeded in synthesising a biodegradable, hydrophobic polymer by modifying a naturally-occurring poly(amino acid) with a hydrophobic amino acid.
This is your Brain on Art: Metaforming Nature
Professor Geoff Ozin highlights the latest in a series of collaborations between himself and artist Todd Siler.
Better quantification of blood samples: more signal, less background
A team based in Germany develop a new method for simultaneous quantification of ZnPP and PPIX in unwashed blood samples.
DNAzyme controlled aggregation of gold nanoparticles for DNA sensors and aptasensors
Researchers have developed a DNA biosensor system by controlling the aggregation of AuNPs using horseradish-peroxidase-mimicking DNAzyme.
Electromagnetic absorbers: from narrow to broad
Chinese scientists have given an overview on the principle of different types of narrowband EM absorbers.
