Researchers verified the chiral-induced spin selectivity effect, i.e., the influence of chiral molecules on spin, using spintronic analytical techniques.
A nanotechnology-based drug delivery system to save patients from repeated surgeries has proved to have unexpectedly long-lasting benefits in lab tests - a promising sign for its potential to help human patients.
Certain mineral nanoparticles were found to damage the membrane of the virus, making it less able to enter human cells. The mode of action that is demonstrated has not been discussed in previous research.
For the first time, the formation of tiny, difficult-to-detect particles - known as dark excitons - can be tracked precisely in time and space. These invisible carriers of energy will play a key role in future solar cells, LEDs and detectors.
