Micro-/Nanotechnology
Natural Trumps Artificial in Antibody–Antigen Interactions
Biosensors using natural and artificial antibodies show different responses. Both systems are tracked with pico-newton resolution to find out why.
Complex Refractory Plasmonic Designs
Researchers demonstrated a new approach to fabricate large-scale, complex nano-architectures of refractory plasmonic transition metal nitrides.
Hydroprinting: A Simple Method to Print Conductive Patterns onto 3D Structures
Researchers have used hydroprinting – a new and versatile technique – to prepare conductive features on 3D objects.
A Look at the Future of Medical Implantables
Nanofluidic implantables represent a recent advance in a broad effort for developing personalized, point-of-care medical technologies.
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.
