Smartphone Batteries Go Solar To Light Rural Homes

Recycled smartphone batteries could power solar LED lamps in rural communities—and create jobs in the process.

Nanomagnetic Holograms For Glasses-Free 3D Viewing

Using nanomagnets, researchers have developed a holographic display system that has nano-sized pixels and can be viewed over a wide angle.

For Super-Sensitive Air Pollution Sensors, Just Add Graphene

Researchers have developed a graphene-based sensor that can detect even single molecules of indoor air pollutants such as carbon dioxide.

Cinnamon Compound Draws Stem Cells Into Wounds

Cinnamtannin B-1 has been shown to promote the migration of stem cells to wound sites in animal models, thereby accelerating healing.

Opening A Gateway To The Brain

Insights into the structure of the blood-brain barrier protein Mfsd2a could lead to better drugs for brain tumors.

Vibrating, Magnetic Microbubbles Deliver The Drugs

These tiny drug- and iron oxide-coated gas bubbles can penetrate deep into cancer cells, with a little help from magnets and ultrasound.

Recipe For Making Batteries: Add A Dash Of Salt

Researchers have found that using salt crystals as a template to grow thin sheets of conductive metal oxides make the materials turn out larger and more chemically pure.

Lipid Forms A ‘Police Car’ For Patrolling Lymphocytes

Lysophosphatidic acid acts as a scaffold for lymphocytes, allowing them to navigate quickly around small spaces in lymph nodes and fight off harmful antigens.

Graphene Oxide Triggers Autophagy To Clear Toxic PCBs

Pre-treating cells with graphene oxide helps them to resist exposure to toxic polychlorinated biphenyls by upregulating autophagy, researchers say.
