Features
Climate Change Enlarging Most Tibetan Lakes
A review on the lake dynamics in the Plateau during the past four decades and an analysis of the contribution of the main factors that are related to lake water budget.
Heart-Protective Nanoparticles
Porous silicon nanoparticles as multifunctional drug carriers for intravenous administration.
Graphene-Polymer Hydrogels: A Strong Combination
In their recent review, Liu et.al. report the newest advances in polymer/graphene composite hydrogels.
Painting Silk with Water and Light
A naturally occurring structural protein (silk fibroin) is used to generate a large inverse opal. Selective exposure to water and/or light can change silk’s conformation thus painting different structural colors.
Human Well-Being and Climate Change Mitigation
What is human well-being – and why does it matter for climate change mitigation?
New Spectroscopic Technique to Detect Epilepsy in Children
Italian researchers explored the diagnostic capability of a multimodal spectroscopic approach for classifying normal brain tissue and epileptogenic focal cortical dysplasia in children.
Nature’s Nanoparticles for Improving Gene Transfer
A cryo-transmission electron micrograph of a new gene delivery system called exo-AAV. The adeno-associated virus vector (AAV) is packaged within a lipid bubble called an exosome. Multiple AAV vectors can be observed as dark structures inside the larger spherical exosome structure.
