New research shows that tiny capsules called polymersomes could be used to carry bug-killing antibiotics right to the site where the bacteria grow inside the cells.
Researchers demonstrate how fabrication of thin films of a particular perovskite in different environments leads to altered electronic properties. This flexibility allows for the development of films with tunable electronic properties, opening doors to a wide variety of next generation electronic devices.
Scientists create novel molecules that serve as ziplines for energy. Such polymers can potentially be used to design new displays based on organic light-emitting diodes, or for solar cells.
Scientists have developed a system that uses fluorescent crystals. A laser beam shone at these quantum dots causes them to fluoresce and emit a stream of single photons.
Researchers have produced a nanocomputing agent that can control the function of a particular protein that is involved in cell movement and cancer metastasis. The research paves the way for the construction of complex nanoscale computers for the prevention and treatment of cancer and other diseases.
Researchers have improved the transfer efficiency between quantum information carriers, in a manner that's based on well-established nanoscience and is compatible with upcoming advanced communication technologies.
