Researchers from RMIT University are using nanodiamonds to create smart textiles that can cool people down faster. Their study, published in the journal Polymers for Advanced Technologies, found fabric made from cotton coated with nanodiamonds, using a me

The delivery of experimental materials to individual cells with exactness and exclusivity has long been an elusive and much sought-after ability in biology. With it comes the promise of deciphering many longstanding secrets of the cell.

In a study published in Nature Nanotechnology, scientists from Delft University of Technology present a new technique to identify proteins. Proteins carry out essential functions in our cells, while playing a crucial role in diseases like cancer and COVID

Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers and has one of the lowest survival rates in the world. Cytokines, which are small signaling proteins, such as interleukin-12 (IL-12), have demonstrated considerable potential as robust tumor suppressors. Howev

New research, conducted at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, illuminates the strange behavior of gold when zapped with high-energy laser pulses.

The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), in collaboration with Kansas State University, has discovered slab waveguides based on the two-dimensional material hexagonal boron nitride. This milestone has been reported in the journal Advanced Materials.

A revolutionary nanomaterial with huge potential to tackle multiple global challenges could be developed further without acute risk to human health, research suggests. The study is published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology.

Vaccines and therapies based on messenger RNA could be more readily delivered due to a non-toxic polymer that protects RNA and controls its release inside cells.

Recent research has broken the size limitation of traditional ferroelectric effects, providing experimental evidence and theoretical simulations to confirm that a structure with as few as 5,000 atoms can still exhibit solid-state ferroelectric effects.

钠离子和钾离子电池是普遍存在的锂离子电池的下一代替代品。然而，它们的能量密度仍然落后于LIBs。为了解决这个问题，来自日本的研究人员探索了一种创新策略，将硬碳转化为优秀的负极材料。在合成过程中，他们使用无机锌基化合物作为模板，制备了纳米结构的硬碳，在两种替代电池中都表现出优异的性能。

德国汉堡马克斯·普朗克物质结构与动力学研究所（MPSD）的研究人员已经表明，之前证明的用激光束开启超导电性的能力可以集成在芯片上，为光电应用开辟了一条道路。

绝对是空的——这就是我们大多数人对真空的想象。然而，在现实中，它充满了一种充满活力的闪烁：量子涨落。专家们目前正在准备一项激光实验，旨在以一种新颖的方式验证这些真空波动，这可能为物理学的新定律提供线索。德累斯顿-罗森多夫亥姆霍兹中心（HZDR）的一个研究团队制定了一系列建议，旨在帮助更有效地进行实验，从而增加成功的机会。该团队在科学期刊《物理评论D》上发表了他们的发现。
