This finding by bioengineers could hasten development of lab-grown blood vessels and other tissues to replace and regenerate damaged tissues in human patients.
This research promises to accelerate the use of silicon technology as viable alternatives to the other competing quantum computing technologies, such as superconductors or trapped ions.
Physicists have developed a novel concept for generating individual photons with tailored properties, the controlled manipulation of which is of fundamental importance for photonic quantum technologies.
A recent review article highlights how nanoscience and nanotechnology can solve three acute problems in the treatment, prevention, and diagnosis of viruses like SARS-CoV-2: 1) synthesis of novel drugs and vaccines based on nanocarriers with enhanced efficiency and reduced side-effects for the treatment of the current pandemic and the prevention of future virus attacks; 2) design of protective equipment based on nanoparticles, such as medical face masks and outfits and 3) development of ...
From Star Trek to Wolverine and Dune, instant wound healing has been a show-stealer in many science-fiction and fantasy films. Scientists have now used a simulation of a new experimental technique to determine accurate electron cross-sections in liquid using a micro-jet of water just 15 micrometres in diameter.
What seems like a win-win for a pair of pressing environmental problems describes a newly discovered chemical technique to turn waste plastic into an effective carbon dioxide (CO2) sorbent for industry.
