Watching The Dance Of Molecules In Real Time
Using tiny and thin-walled graphene pockets to contain molecules of interest, scientists in Korea have visualized the molecular motion of polymers in real time.
Shedding Light On Bacterial Infections
Scientists have replaced blood agar plates with flurophores for detecting hemolytic bacteria.
Chinese Diabetic Patients Have Poor Blood Glucose Monitoring Habits
By analyzing data from the ORBIT study, scientists have discovered that Chinese diabetic patients do not practice good self-monitoring of blood glucose.
Tricking Tumors With Targeted Nanocarriers
Using nanoparticles that mimic the cancer cell membrane, scientists have found a way to deliver oxygen specifically to tumors and thereby reduce chemoresistance.
Semiconductor Lithography In A Flash
Researchers have successfully used a simple camera flash to produce semiconductor patterns smaller than ten nanometers in size.
Going 2D To Keep Chips Shrinking
By using a single material that can act as both a metal and a semiconductor, scientists in Korea have produced the first 2D field-electric transistor.
Photosensitizer Enhances Cancer-Killing Ability Of Malaria Drug
By combining the anti-malarial drug artemisinin with a photosensitizer, researchers from Singapore have multiplied its cancer-killing ability ten-fold.
Embedding Tiny Lasers In Silicon Wafers
Using a technique known as epitaxy, researchers have created micron-sized lasers on silicon semiconductor wafers.
Small, Stable Antibody Fragments Make Protein Crystallization Easier
Researchers in Japan have created a hybrid antibody fragment to aid structural determination of ‘uncrystallizable’ target proteins.
