Researchers found that while high amounts of DNA nanotechnology devices can cause a slight immune response, it isn't marked enough to be dangerous. Their findings also suggest that different shapes may be more conducive to different therapeutic applications.
The research is part of the SWARM study - Small robots With collective behaviour as AI-driven cancer therapies; building Regulations for future nanoMedicines.
Mathematicians have found that they can design a range of composite materials from moire patterns created by rotating and stretching one lattice relative to another. Their electrical and other physical properties can change - sometimes quite abruptly, depending on whether the resulting moire patterns are regularly repeating or non-repeating.
In a breakthrough, researchers have managed to observe and characterize dynamic assembly of metallic atoms using an ingenious combination of scanning transmission electron microscopy and a video-based tracking.
