A review in OMICS: A Journal of Integrative Biology explores how core-shell nanoparticles could revolutionize drug delivery systems and play a key role in advancing personalized and precision medicine.

A research team has successfully developed a new synthesis technology for 2D semiconductors. This technique enables the direct growth of wafer-scale single-crystal 2D semiconductors on various substrates. The research is published in Nature.

Combine a garden-variety green laser, microwaves with roughly the energy of your wi-fi, and some diamond dust in drops of water, and what do you get? A precise chemical detection tool.

Some bacteria deploy tiny spearguns to retaliate against rival attacks. Researchers at the University of Basel have mimicked attacks by poking bacteria with an ultra-sharp tip. Using this approach, they have uncovered that bacteria assemble their nanoweap

Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most challenging tumors to treat, partly because it is often discovered at advanced stages when the disease has already spread, or metastasized. About half of pancreatic cancer patients experience metastasis to the liv

An international research project, led by The University of Warwick and the University of Lille, has used nanotube compression to transform the underlying chemistry and physics of a compound, creating a promising new one-dimensional material.

New research by Curtin University has achieved a breakthrough in eco-friendly display technology, creating highly efficient and stable blue quantum dot LEDs (QLEDs) that could power the next generation of televisions, smartphones, VR headsets and energy-e

Traditionally, radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery have been the most common ways to remove and destroy malignant cells. However, because these treatments can also damage healthy cells, they often have significant side effects. Today, more precise and ta

Composite adhesives like epoxy resins are excellent tools for joining and filling materials including wood, metal, and concrete. But there's one problem: once a composite sets, it's there forever. Now there's a better way. Researchers have developed a

A phone screen you can't scratch no matter how many times you drop it; glasses that prevent glare; a windshield that doesn't get dusty. These are all possibilities thanks to a new way to produce sapphire.

A new study led by Profs. Fan Kelong and Yan Xiyun from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences introduces a novel ferritin-based delivery system for small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting glioblastoma (GBM), a breakthrough that co

Researchers have developed a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent nanosensor capable of simultaneously detecting and differentiating between iron forms—Fe(II) and Fe(III)—in living plants.
