Imagine that doctors could precisely print miniature capsules capable of delivering cells needed for tissue repair exactly where they are needed inside a beating heart.

Have you ever dreamed of writing a heartfelt letter, sealing it in a bottle, and letting the ocean carry it to someone special? It's a romantic image we've seen in movies like "Message in a Bottle." But did you know this beautiful act of conne

An inexpensive paper sensor along with a smartphone-based reader developed by a Washington State University-led team can rapidly provide information on a person's personal smoke exposure during wildfire season.

Researchers at Linköping University have developed a new type of pipette that can deliver ions to individual neurons without affecting the sensitive extracellular milieu. Controlling the concentration of different ions can provide important insights into

Northwestern Medicine investigators have developed first-of-its-kind eyedrops that use synthetic nanoparticles to help the eye regenerate cells that have been damaged by mustard keratopathy, or exposure to mustard gas, and other inflammatory eye diseases,

Scientists from the Faculty of Physics and Applied Informatics at the University of Lodz have published an article on friction in the journal Small. Their research on "bismuth islands" moving on the surface of graphite confirmed the existence of

Cells have a mailing system of sorts. They can release tiny molecular balls, called extracellular vesicles (EVs), that contain biological matter or messages and attach to other cells to share whatever they contain.

The Skoltech Laboratory of Nanomaterials, along with the Institute's Hierarchically Structured Materials Laboratory and Materials Center, have proposed a novel dual-stage monitoring technique for multifunctional polymer nanocomposites.

Microelectromechanical system (MEMS) optical modulators are crucial in next-generation technologies such as free-space optical communication and LiDAR, but existing designs struggle with balancing aperture size, efficiency, and speed.

For decades, traditional lithography techniques—such as electron beam lithography and nanoimprinting—have struggled to meet the demand for ultra-fine, high-aspect-ratio structures in general. Similar difficulty also applies to metal-based radio-frequency

A research team led by Prof. Wang Hui from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with researchers led by Prof. Qian Junchao from HFIPS and Prof. Qu Songnan from the University of Macau,

A team of biomedical engineers from China and the U.S. has developed a thin patch resembling a band-aid that can be applied to an internal organ to directly deliver therapeutic drugs. In their paper published in the journal Nature, the group describes the
