Researchers developed a molecular multiple access protocol enabling scaling up in-body molecular communication networks to multiple transmitters, bringing practical nano-networks for advanced medical apps closer. The protocol leverages dynamics of molecular diffusion to address challenges like packet detection and channel estimation.
CRISPR-powered optothermal nanotweezers" (CRONT) integrate optical trapping with CRISPR-based DNA cleavage to enable precise manipulation and sequence-specific identification of individual DNA strands and nanoparticles.
Researchers demonstrate focused electron beam induced deposition can reliably 3D print gold nanostructures with fully predictable, spectrally tunable plasmonic responses. The technique's flexibility enables precise vertical and lateral mode engineering in intricate geometries, unlocking applications from augmented spectroscopy to quantum optics.
Guided by machine learning, chemists designed a record-setting carbonaceous supercapacitor material that stores four times more energy than the best commercial material. A supercapacitor made with the new material could store more energy - improving regenerative brakes, power electronics and auxiliary power supplies.
