Novel nanotechnology found to enhance fight against colorectal cancer and melanoma
University of Arizona Health Sciences researchers recently completed a study that has the potential to improve cancer treatment for colorectal cancer and melanoma by...
Artificially designed, amyloid-silk hybrid protein developed in Zhang lab even outperforms...
Spider silk is said to be one of the strongest, toughest materials on the Earth. Now engineers at Washington University in St. Louis have...
‘Edge of chaos’ opens pathway to artificial intelligence discoveries
Some neuroscience theories suggest the human brain operates best 'at the edge of chaos'. Now scientists have found that keeping a nanowire network at...
‘Flashed’ nanodiamonds are just a phase, research team finds
Nanodiamonds were first discovered in the 1960s and are microscopic crystals—or regions of crystals—that display the same carbon-atom lattice that macro-scale diamonds do. They...
A new material made from carbon nanotubes can generate electricity by...
Engineers have discovered a new way of generating electricity using tiny carbon particles that can create a current simply by interacting with liquid surrounding...
Filter membrane renders viruses harmless
Researchers led by ETH Zurich have developed a new water filter membrane that is both highly effective and environmentally friendly. The membrane eliminates a...
Not graphene: Researchers discover new type of atomically thin carbon material
Scientists discover a new allotrope of carbon that is similar to graphene. As with graphene, it is only one atom thick. However, unlike graphene,...
First transistors made entirely of nanocrystal ‘inks’
Kagan's group developed a library of four nanocrystal inks that comprise the transistor: a conductor (silver), an insulator (aluminum oxide), a semiconductor (cadmium selenide)...
