Dynamic nano and micropillars are able to transport water droplets across a surface.
Targeted viral-based gene therapies come with their own risks. A new gene delivery system mimics viral therapies to infect cancer cells with vesicular stomatitis virus matrix protein, with a similar transfection efficiency as the virus itself.
Dr. Dongling Ma (INRS) and co-author Deepak Thrithamarassery Gangadharan talk to us about themselves, their careers, and the future of perovskite solar cell research.
Silk’s highly tunable range of mechanical properties, degradation rates and material formats arise from subtle changes at the microscopic level.
Biodegradeable medical devices made from wax might one day remove the need for surgical implant removal.
Broadband and ultrathin infrared stealth sheets are prepared that can hide macroscopic 3D objects.
A gold nanoglue that improves the contact between nickel nanoparticles and molybdenum disulfide.
A team of researchers demonstrate Ca–polyphosphate (polyP) nanoparticles (NPs) as a smart biomaterial for regenerative medicine applications.
To fight antibiotic-resistant pathogens, and to ensure wide-spread application and high compliance, oral vaccinations are desirable, but pose drug delivery complications. An efficient nanoparticle system for vaccination against stomach ulcer causing Helicobacter pylori was recently reported.
