This promising process works by modifying the internal structure of a material, called graphene oxide, to make it more conducive to regenerating bone tissue.
Breakthrough Starshot plans to send microscopic probes to Alpha Centauri using lightsails. Previous conceptions of these structures have imagined them being passively pushed by light from the sun, but Starshot's laser-based approach requires rethinking the sail's shape and composition so it won't melt or tear during acceleration to relativistic speeds.
Researchers use a tiny thermometer to directly monitor changes in temperature when ions pass through a nanopore, which may lead to more efficient DNA sequencing technology.
A nanomaterials-engineered penetrating sealer is able to better protect concrete from moisture and salt - the two most damaging factors in crumbling concrete infrastructure in northern states.
Researchers report the preparation of a moisture sensitive graphene oxide soft robot by combining direct ink writing and constrained drying. To do so, they realized a uniform 3D macrostructure with graphene oxide nanosheets highly aligned and compacted inside.
