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.

Asian Institutions Continue Climb Up Nature’s Publishing Index (VIDEO)

China, Japan and South Korea are the top three countries on the 2016 Nature Index, a ranking based on the scientific output of over 60,000 research articles.

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.
