Recent advances in this field have made micro- and nanomotors promising devices for solving many biomedical problems.
Scientists have probed into nanostructures covering the corneas of the eyes of small fruit flies. Investigating them the team learned how to produce the safe biodegradable nanocoating with antimicrobial, anti-reflective, and self-cleaning properties in a cost-effective and eco-friendly way.
A team of researchers are developing a toolbox of self-assembling nanoparticles to be used as vaccines against infections including the parasitic Toxoplasma gondii.
Researchers have managed to make an efficient material for broadband frequency doubling of light using microspheres made of disordered nanocrystals. The crucial idea for the method arose during a coffee break. In the future, the new approach could be used in lasers and other light technologies.
Scientists demonstrate how light stored in a cloud of ultra-cold atoms can be transported by means of an optical conveyor belt.
Cheaper refrigerators? Stronger hip implants? A better understanding of human disease? All of these could be possible and more, someday, thanks to an ambitious new project to design and build a fleet of tiny ultra-sensitive thermometers.
A team of researchers has demonstrated for the first time a single-molecule electret - a device that could be one of the keys to molecular computers.
The trick to extremely thin supercapacitors with improved performance is spraying graphene ink at an angle.
