A group of reserachers discovered a gene silencing process that help with effictive and efficient delivery of genes. This process, made effective by a gold DNA nanosunflower, can help cure HIV, infertility and even cancer.
Researchers from KTU discovered metal nanoparticles that self-assembles and can help improve cancer diagnosis. This discovery can also help with the improvement of photothermal therapy.
Researchers discovered the mechanism that activates iron under oxygen-free conditions. Scientists from the Sandia National Laboratories have discovered the mechanism to activate iron that is found in clay mineral structures.
Battery life could potentially be improved by 50 percent using this technology. At the University of Utah, a mechanical engineer named Mathieu Francoeur has found a slight technicality when it comes to a principle that allows wasted heat to be recycled into usable electricity.
Not only are fingerprints on shiny stainless-steel surfaces unattractive, but they also attack the surface. A new nanocoating that is being developed by Fraunhofer researchers will prevent the smudges that result from a finger touching stainless steel surfaces. The key to their approach is a special nanoparticle that is added to the coating.
The United States has an increase in the number of neurological diseases. Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death, with Alzheimer's being ranked sixth. Another neurological disease, Parkinson's, affects almost 1 million people in the U.S every year.
FsLDW allows the fabrication of higher-level microstructures to manipulate light signals, including the waveguide coupled microdisks for light remote control and the coupled double-microdisk resonators for laser mode selection
Researchers proposed that adding APC in between QDs and MoSe2 creates a funnel-like energy-transfer effect due to the way that APC preferentially orients itself relative to MoSe2
A DNA nanorobot can target breast cancer cells for destruction. About 20% of breast cancers make high levels of a protein called human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 of HER2, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Sodium-containing compounds are surprisingly effective ingredients for cooking up carbon nanotubes Table salt, detergent, and baking soda are effective ingredients for creating carbon nanotubes, researchers at MIT have found out.
New methods of arranging silver nanowires make them more durable, shows a study by KAUST. Nanowires form transparent and flexible conductive layers that can be used for improved stain sensors, solar cells and next-generation mobile phones.
Thought-controlled weapons are in the works. The Department of Defense's research unit, the DARPA, is paying scientists to invent and discover ways to read the minds of the soldiers using tools like genetic engineering of the human brain, infrared beams and nanotechnology.
The system can fix microscale circuits by making a permanent and stable pathway Social insects such as ants have colonies that are capable of accomplishing complex tasks and self-organizing and they do it through individual interactions.
These wearable electronic components are wearable and washable Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a wearable electronic component that is incorporated directly into fabrics.
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.
