Engineers have created a nanofiber material that outperforms its widely used counterparts - including steel plates and Kevlar fabric - in protecting against high-speed projectile impacts.
New research by the inventors of a promising pathogen-repellent wrap has confirmed that it sheds not only bacteria, as previously proven, but also viruses, boosting its potential usefulness for interrupting the transmission of infections.
A team of scientists engineer nanoscale guitar strings that vibrate tens of billions of times when plucked at cryogenic temperatures, with a material originally developed for electronic transistors.
Researchers report an expanded molecular alphabet for DNA data storage comprising four natural and seven chemically modified nucleotides that are readily detected and distinguished using nanopore sequencers.
Scientists have found promising properties with crystals grown from rare-earth atoms, which offer hope on the long path towards usage as spintronic components.
