A new material can respond to the presence of bacterial enzymes by releasing a cargo of therapeutic nanoparticles, which could prove particularly helpful in wound dressings.
Using cutting-edge electron microscopes and novel techniques, a team of researchers has found a way to map phonons - vibrations in crystal lattices - in atomic resolution, enabling deeper understanding of the way heat travels through quantum dots, engineered nanostructures in electronic components.
Scientists have developed a first-of-its-kind ultrasound-guided cancer immunotherapy platform that delivers immune-stimulating agents to cells for the development of systemic anti-tumor immunity.
Researchers have produced a porous and stable material in which the cavities can be used to store various substances. The material can be used both in the pharmaceutical industry and for filtration at the molecular level.
Scientists find that holes can also improve technology, including medical devices. They describe an entirely new way to make a solar cell: by etching holes in the top layer to make it porous.
