What happens to the nanoparticles when they are injected into the bloodstream, for example, to destroy solid tumours? Researchers are now ready to tackle such a challenging question using zebrafish embryos as a new study model in nanomedicine and nanotoxicology. • Email to a friend • New research findings show potential for graphene bolometers to become a game-changer for quantum technology. • Email to a friend • Researchers demonstrate that single-grain growth of graphene crystals can be achieved over a large, macroscale, area. Specifically, the team shows that graphene flakes, nucleated over a polycrystalline graphene film, synchronize during growth so as to ultimately yield a common crystal orientation at the macroscale. The phenomenon of self-alignment of graphene grains during their growth, which the team discovered experimentally, has never been observed before - and at this time the scientists don't have a good model for the underlying physics which leads to this effect. • Email to a friend • Scientists developed a new method and discover new features of primary cilia - little understood antenna-like structures protruding from cells. • Email to a friend • Researchers have synthesized a new porous material that enables and guides the degradation of compounds analogous to nerve agents used in chemical warfare. This material will make it possible to capture and degrade this type of compounds that until now could not be eliminated. • Email to a friend • A self-erasing chip for security and anti-counterfeit technologies. • Email to a friend • Dual-mode thermal rectification could be a game changer for a range of industrial and medical applications. • Email to a friend • Researchers devlop innovative coating for bipolar plates in fuel cells. • Email to a friend • For the first time, researchers have shown that highly ordered copper thin films can be crystallized directly on a one-molecule-thick layer of organic material rather than on the inorganic substrates that have been used for years. • Email to a friend • |
