CNT Nanomotors Put a New Spin on Rotary Motion
Specially designed carbon nanotube nanomotors undergo rotary motion in water, driving external mechanical loads on the nanoscale.
Potential Toxicity of Silver Nanomaterials on the Reproductive System
A study that looks at how silver nanomaterials could affect the female reproductive system.
Self-Gating Drug Delivery
Antitumour platform comes of age: this system gets the responsible drug to keep itself in check for transport and delivery.
Location-Specific Compositional Control of 1D Materials
This old dog has a new trick: an adapted lithography technique allows precise variation of the composition of 1D materials during fabrication.
Precision Functionalisation of Polymeric Microparticles
The NITEC reaction is explored with tetrazole-functionalised microparticles, and demonstrates micrometer-scale resolution as a surface-patterning technique.
Phase Control of 2D Materials with Reverse Micelles
Supercritical carbon dioxide induced reverse micelles were used to create metallic 1T-phase molybdenum disulfide and tungsten disulfide nanosheets for hydrogen generation.
How Can Protein Coronas Impact the Future of Nanomedicine?
The application and the clinical development of nanomedicines strongly requires a deep study on the complex dynamics that happen after in vivo administration. Particularly, plasma proteins tend to associate to nanoparticles, forming a new surface named the “protein corona” that can have a strong impact on biodistribution, targeting efficacy, and toxicity.
Versatile Styrene Conversion Catalyst Also Captures CO2
It reads like the plot of an action movie: against all odds, an unassuming catalyst avoids deactivation and captures its target with record effectiveness.
Sweat Collection on Skin
John Rogers and co-workers report a soft, skin-mounted microfluidic system for sweat collection and analysis directly from and on the surface of the skin.
