Unlocking precise composition analysis of nanomedicines

Current regulations for nanomedicines overlook the effects of the different forms of the same element, such as ions, nanoparticles, and aggregates. In a...

Single-atom catalysts change spin state when boosted by a magnetic field

Researchers proposed a novel strategy for using a magnetic field to boost the efficiency of single-atom catalysts -- thus speeding up helpful reactions...

Insect protein blocks bacterial infection

Scientists have reported use of antibacterial coatings made from resilin-mimetic proteins to fully block bacteria from attaching to a surface. A protein that...

‘Better than graphene’ material development may improve implantable technology

Move over, graphene. There's a new, improved two-dimensional material in the lab. Borophene, the atomically thin version of boron first synthesized in 2015,...

Towards transparent and antimicrobial surfaces for touch displays

Researchers report the development of a durable and transparent antimicrobial surface containing copper nanoparticles. The nanostructured surface was obtained by dewetting ultrathin metal...

Sugar-based catalyst upcycles carbon dioxide

New catalyst is made from an inexpensive, abundant metal and table sugar. Catalyst converts carbon dioxide (CO2) into carbon monoxide, a building block...

Activity in a room stirs up nanoparticles left over from consumer sprays

Common household products containing nanoparticles -- grains of engineered material so miniscule they are invisible to the eye -- could be contributing to...

Speeding up spectroscopic analysis

Ultrafast laser spectroscopy allows the ascertainment of dynamics over extremely short time scales, making it a very useful tool in many scientific and...

Diamond dust shines bright in Magnetic Resonance Imaging

An unexpected discovery surprised a scientist: nanometer-sized diamond particles, which were intended for a completely different purpose, shone brightly in a magnetic resonance...
