Engineers have developed microscopic robots, known as microrobots, capable of swimming through the lungs to deliver cancer-fighting medication directly to metastatic tumors.
The metasurface boosts photon emission coupling with its resonance mode, allowing precise light direction control. It achieves up to 25 times higher luminescence efficiency than previous methods.
Researchers have developed a cost-effective, sensitive piezoelectric sensor using polyvinylidene fluoride nanofibers and dopamine, enhancing performance and stability for healthcare and robotics.
A new multiple-sampling capsule robot can collect gut microbiome samples from various locations in the GI tract while minimizing contamination, enabling crucial longitudinal analysis.
Researchers have uncovered for the first time the full effects of interactions between exciton-polaritons and their associated dark excitonic reservoir.
Silicone-based 3D microchannels with embedded electronics created via direct ink writing 3D printing. liquid metal injected to form flexible, stretchable, high-Q antennas.
The approach, which combines cryogenic electron microscopes with methods developed in X-ray crystallography, could lead to improved medicines and a deeper understanding of cell division, photosynthesis and host-pathogen interactions, among other subjects.
