Nanofluidic device generates power with saltwater

There is a largely untapped energy source along the world's coastlines: the difference in salinity between seawater and freshwater. A new nanodevice can...

Crystallization as the driving force

Scientists have successfully developed nanomaterials using a so-called bottom-up approach. They exploit the fact that crystals often grow in a specific direction during...

Strength is in this glass’s DNA

Scientists were able to fabricate a pure form of glass and coat specialized pieces of DNA with it to create a material that...

3D-printed plasmonic plastic enables large-scale optical sensor production

Researchers have developed plasmonic plastic -- a type of composite material with unique optical properties that can be 3D-printed. This research has now...

Researchers dynamically tune friction in graphene

The friction on a graphene surface can be dynamically tuned using external electric fields, according to researchers.

Wearable sensor to monitor ‘last line of defense’ antibiotic

Researchers have combined earlier work on  painless microneedles with nanoscale sensors to create a wearable sensor patch capable of continuously monitoring the levels...

Bioengineering breakthrough increases DNA detection sensitivity by 100 times

Researchers have pushed forward the boundaries of biomedical engineering one hundredfold with a new method for DNA detection with unprecedented sensitivity.

New research may make future design of nanotechnology safer with fewer side effects

A new study may offer a strategy that mitigates negative side effects associated with intravenous injection of nanoparticles commonly used in medicine.

The medicine of the future could be artificial life forms

Imagine a life form that doesn't resemble any of the organisms found on the tree of life. One that has its own unique...
