Nanocarriers can be precision-engineered to capitalize on what is known about receptor expression patterns, receptor clustering, and ultimately how interactions between a nanocarrier and target can be manipulated to achieve the most effective downstream signaling events.
A photoinduced redox reaction is used to cause the contraction of an artificial hydrogel muscle, leading to macroscale actuation and measurable work.
A molecular view of non-classical micellization is provided by researchers from Sweden, Russia and the Czech Republic.
New information about molecular electronics is revealed after conducting DFT simulations.

A team of researchers design sub-nanoporous, selective membranes for water treatment using self-assembled liquid crystal (LC) monomers. The membranes show salt rejection ability, ion selectivity, and excellent water permeability.
Bioinspired, biohybrid device design and fabrication strategy for investigating the ability of therapeutics to cross the blood brain barrier.
It is shown that polymer such as Teflon can be distributed around each grain of ZnO, and this, in turn, allows for use to form a composite material with an electrical conduction that is blocked at low fields and conducts at high field through the quantum mechanical process known as “tunneling”.
Ni-based superalloys, hitherto utilized exclusively for high temperature applications, e.g. as turbine blades in aero engines, are used to prepare heat-resistant membranes.
Cell printing using this new electro-hydrodynamic technique allows the creation of cell structures with multiple layers and a high cell viability.
