How Plant Viruses Can Be Used to Ward Off Pests And Keep Plants Healthy

A biological nanoparticle that could target pesticides to treat specific spots deep within the soil Researchers at the University of California San Diego and Case Western Reserve University have developed a technology that could target pesticides to treat spots within the soil.

'Spidey Senses' Could Help Autonomous Machines Avoid Accidents

What if drones and self-driving cars had the tingling "spidey senses" of Spider-Man? Andres Arrieta, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Purdue University says drones and self-driving cars might actually detect and avoid objects better if they would process sensory information faster.

Nanocubes Follow Nanoscale Sculpturing

Scientists discover the principles of the arrangement of nanocubes Collaborators from the U. S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and Columbia Engineering have discovered that single-stranded DNA chain-coated nanocubes or cube-shaped nanoparticles arrange in a zigzag pattern.

New Dielectric Material Acts as Effective Heat Sink in Electronics

Scientists discover how to create an effective heat sink for dielectrics Scientists from the Rice University's Brown School of Engineering invented a nanocomposite that has great potential as a superior high-temperature dielectric material for energy storage, electric devices, and flexible electronics.

First - Ever Smallest Pixels Invented

The smallest pixels yet created—a million times smaller than those in smartphones, made by trapping particles of light under tiny rocks of gold—could be used for new types of large-scale flexible displays, big enough to cover entire buildings.

Zombie-like Cells Can Help Quicken Drug Discovery

Zombie-like cells are being used to help quicken drug discovery Researchers are using zombie-like cells that behave normally on the outside but are filled with magnetic particles inside.

'Impossible' Nano-Sized Protein Cages Created With Help of Gold

Scientists create nano-sized protein cages Researchers from Heddle Initiative Research Unit at RIKEN in Japan and Malopolska Centre of Biotechnology, Jagiellonian University in Poland created a nanoscale assemblage that could target the delivery of drugs to specific locations in the body.
