Nanochannels have important applications in biomedicine, sensing, and many other fields. Though engineers have been fabricating these tiny, tube-like structures for years, much remains unknown about their properties and behavior. Now, engineers have published surprising new findings.
Researchers have developed a new tool that can design much more complex DNA robots and nanodevices than were ever possible before in a fraction of the time.
Researchers have significantly enhanced the performance of a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensing platform by adding an atomically thin phase change material to the sensor. This plasmonic sensing device exhibits a detection limit of 1 femtomol for tumor necrosis factor (TNF alpha) biomarkers , which is more than three orders of magnitude compared to current state-of-art nanomaterial-enhanced plasmonic sensors. It also detects small biotin molecules with a sensitivity of 10 ...
Researchers propose a new, cost effective separation method, suitable for the industrial scale processing of carbon nanotubes. The method of separation is based on passing the CNTs surfactant solution through a column filled with chemically modified cotton wool.
Researchers have demonstrated, with preclinical studies, the effectiveness of a new biomedical implant - the microMESH - for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme.
A team of scientists has studied the behavior of defects on 2D crystals in water in order to better understand the crystals' properties and assess their quality.
