Results for "magnetic nanoparticles"
Photogravitactic Microswimmers
Artificial photochemically-active microswimmers, with 2D or 3D swimming behavior, can also swim against gravity.
Viral-based Nanomaterials for Plasmonic and Photonic Materials and Devices
Researchers are taking advantage of 4 billion years of viral evolution to produce robust protein cages for a wide range of applications in nanotechnology.
Artificial Photosynthesis: A Big Leap for Powering the Globe
The burgeoning development and sustained production of advances in the booming field of solar-to-energy conversion have inspired a Special Issue specifically dedicated to “Artificial Photosynthesis: Mimicking Nature for Renewable Energy Production” – guest editors Wee-Jun Ong, Zhiqun Lin and Kazunari Domen.
Biomanufacturing in Zero-G
Science fact catches up with science fiction: by exploiting magnetic levitation, biomanufacturing – creating living 3D structures – is now possible in zero gravity. Utkan Demirci discusses how this works.
Multifunctional Titania Now Ready for Medical Imaging and Photodynamic Therapy?
Multifunctional gadolinium-doped titania nanoparticles perform combined diagnostics and treament without compromising the advantages of their components.
Tracking Transplanted Stem Cells by Dual-Contrast MRI
Dual-contrast MRI for real time monitoring of transplanted stem cell delivery, migration and death.
Anisogel: A New Hybrid Hydrogel for Tissue Regenerative Therapy
A new type of hybrid hydrogel for tissue regenerative therapy—Anisogel—is developed by Abdolrahman Omidinia-Anarkoli, Laura De Laporte, and co-workers from the Leibniz Institute for Interactive Materials in Aachen, Germany. This low-invasive hydrogel is promising for healing body tissues that consist of an aligned architecture, such as the heart, kidney, muscles, and nerves.
