For a long time it has been suspected that fullerene and its derivatives could form naturally in the universe. An international team of researchers has now shown how this reaction works.
A timely review covers the current state of protein corona research in nanomedicine, highlights challenges in research methodology and characterization, and discusses the role of artificial intelligence in advancing the field.
These newly discovered characteristics are expected to be utilized to develop new near-infrared absorbing dyes that can absorb longer wavelength near-infrared light.
Scientists have developed a nanobiosensor based on gold nanowires. Originally only intended for the detection of COVID-19-associated antigens and antibodies, the biosensor is also transferable to other biomarkers.
'Seven, one, nine, ...': A human voice pronounces digits, a physical material recognizes them with about 97 percent accuracy. This pattern recognition system was developed by physicists and enables multidimensional problems to be solved quickly and without energy-consuming training.
A new application note discusses how atomic force microscope (AFM) systems can be used in various disciplines of biological research, such as imaging of live cells and bacteria, single-cell manipulation, or force spectroscopy on molecules, cells, or tissue.
Researchers present a new concept for lightweight and mechanically-tunable concrete systems that have integrated energy harvesting and sensing functionality.
'Phase change inks' that could transform how we heat and cool buildings, homes and cars to achieve sophisticated 'passive climate' control have been developed, with enormous potential to help reduce energy use and global greenhouse gas emissions.
