Researchers demonstrated that small changes in the isotopic content of thin semiconductor materials can influence their optical and electronic properties, possibly opening the way to new and advanced designs with the semiconductors.
The development of a novel fabrication process to create aligned nanofiber hydrogels could offer new possibilities for tissue regeneration after injury and provide a way to test therapeutic drug candidates without the use of animals.
Researchers developed a durable and transparent antimicrobial surface containing copper nanoparticles. The nanostructured surface was obtained by dewetting ultrathin metal copper films on a glass substrate.
Scientists create self-assembling colloidal crystals from bacteriophages and synthetic polymers that could enable responsive drug delivery, antimicrobial surfaces, biosensors and tunable nanomaterials.
