The fluorescent nanoparticles, wrapped in the membranes of red blood cells, target tumors better than current clinically approved dyes and can emit two distinct signals in response to just one beam of surgical light, a feature that could help doctors distinguish tumor borders and identify metastatic cancers.

The coatings integrate flexible sensors with a nanostructured antibacterial surface inspired by the wings of dragonflies and cicadas.

A new review article sheds light on the evolution of this technology - and the work that still needs to be done for it to reach its full potential.

Researchers have managed to produce slow electrons in a solution. In the future, such electrons could help make certain chemical reactions more efficient.

A new form of low-cost, 3D-printed water pollution sensor can help detect the presence of very low concentrations of pesticides in water samples.

A new tool in the fight against superbugs goes beyond protein folding simulations like AlphaFold, potentially revealing antibiotic candidates.

Scientists show that collisions change the way the molecules vibrate and rotate under the laws of quantum mechanics.

Scientists review the classification and application of carbon-based stimuli-responsive nanomaterials, based on their microstructures and properties, and discuss the applications of carbon-based stimuli-responsive nanomaterials in probes, bioimaging, tumor therapy, and other fields
