All therapeutic agents are encapsulated in nanocapsules with a protein shell to be delivered to the tumor. There, light irradiation triggers a cascade of events, which lead to the destruction of the tumor cells.
Although the sensor consists of only a few atoms, it contains all the functions found in commercial equivalents. This includes a sensing element, memory, data readout, and a 'reset button' that enables it to make another measurement.
Researchers have developed a new approach to printed electronics which allows ultra-low power electronic devices that could recharge from ambient light or radiofrequency noise. The approach paves the way for low-cost printed electronics that could be seamlessly embedded in everyday objects and environments.
Researchers have developed a layer of tungsten disulfide that is just as thin as three atomic layers - and it is luminous, flexible and also withstands external influences.
