Researchers are advancing the development of liquid crystal nanoparticle-formulated antibiotics to more accurately target and eliminate difficult-to-cure lung infections in people with cystic fibrosis.
For years, C130 fullertubes - molecules made up of 130 carbon atoms - have existed only in theory. Now, physicists have successfully shown them in real life.
A new type of metamaterial through which sound waves flow in an unprecedented fashion provides a novel form of amplification of mechanical vibrations, which has the potential to improve sensor technology and information processing devices.
Focusing a tailored laser beam through transparent glass can create a tiny spot inside the material. Researchers found a way to use this small spot to improve laser material processing, boosting processing resolution.
