Artificial ECM with chemical, electrical, and mechanical cues for stem cell differentiation
A new 3D artificial extracellular matrix provides a combination of chemical, electrical, and mechanical cues to influence stem cell differentiation.
Nanochemistry: Who Owns It ?
So who owns nanochemistry? Should “all” the credit be given to chemistry pioneers of the past 20-30 years or were the foundations of nanochemistry already laid in the field of colloid chemistry, the origin of which can be traced to a century earlier?
Nanowelded Tubes are Superstrong
A team in Japan have made stronger than ever metal-carbon nanotubes junctions by nanowelding multiwalled carbon nanotubes to the contact surface.
Nanometer Precision in Nanotube Heterojunctions
Nanotubes whose properties alternate with nanometer precision can be made by a simple electrochemical process, show German scientists.
