Human mini-lungs grown by scientists can mimic the response of animals when exposed to certain nanomaterials. Though not expected to replace animal models completely, human organoids could soon lead to significant reductions in research animal numbers.
Enzyme-packed flow-through reactors with custom nanomembranes significantly enhance chemical production yields and reaction rates for sustainable applications.
Researchers achieved a breakthrough in the development of next-generation light sources with a new method for understanding and measuring efficiency losses in light-emitting electrochemical cells.
Coating glass vials with metal-organic frameworks enables simple, rapid, reusable and highly sensitive detection of water contaminants, outperforming current methods.
In an effort to understand how and why 2D interfaces take on the structures they do, researchers have developed a method to visualize the thermally-induced rearrangement of 2D materials, atom-by-atom, from twisted to aligned structures using transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
