Converting silicon into silicon oxide nanoparticles answers to silicon waste recycling issues and providing a new source of nanoparticles for various uses in science and industry. • Email to a friend • Researchers find potentially useful electrical phenomenon in gold nanowires. • Email to a friend • For more than a hundred years, physicists have been aware of the link between the concepts of disorder in a system, and information obtained by measurement. However, a clean experimental assessment of this link in common monitored systems, that is systems which are continuously measured over time, was missing so far. • Email to a friend • Researchers have successfully obtained vivid colors by using semiconductor chips - not dyes - made by mimicking the human brain structure. • Email to a friend • Researchers used quantum optics to advance state-of-the-art microscopy and illuminate a path to detecting material properties with greater sensitivity than is possible with traditional tools. • Email to a friend • Scientists excite magnons in nanostructures with laser pulses. • Email to a friend • Biofilm formation is an important adaptation and survival strategy commonly employed by bacteria but, unfortunately, a major cause for infections in humans. Researchers have now demonstrated the safe removal of in vivo bacterial biofilms through artificial nanomotors driven by near-infrared laser light. This is the first demonstration of a self-propelled antibiofilm platform capable of conducting photothermal and antibiotic therapy in the deep layers of biofilm, achieving high therapeutic efficiency in vivo without damaging healthy tissues. • Email to a friend • Nanotechnology has an impressive record against viruses and has been used since the late 1880s to separate and identify them. More recently, nanomedicine has been used to develop treatments for flu, Zika and HIV. And now it's joining the fight against the COVID-19 virus, SARS-CoV-2. • Email to a friend • Researchers successfully demonstrated a room-temperature coherent amplification of terahertz (THz) radiation in graphene, electrically driven by a dry cell battery. • Email to a friend • |
