Carbon Nanotubes Enable Clothing That Can Charge an iphone
Carbon nanotubes will replace copper wire in cars and planes to reduce weight and improve fuel efficiency. Carbon will filter our water and tell us more about our lives and bodies through new biometric sensors.
Gene Editing Therapy Made Safer With New CRISPR Technique
Scientists from The University of Texas at Austin took an important step toward safer gene editing cures for life-threatening disorders, from cancer to HIV to Huntington’s disease, by developing a technique that can spot editing mistakes a popular tool known as CRISPR makes to an individual’s genome. The research appears today in the journal Cell.
Immune Cells Boosted by Nanoparticles
By developing nanoparticle “backpacks” that hold immune-stimulating drugs, and attaching them directly to T cells, the MIT engineers showed in a study of mice that they could enhance those T cells’ activity without harmful side effects. In more than half of the treated animals, tumors disappeared completely.
Manipulating single atoms with an electron beam
An electron beam with sub-atomic precision, allowing scientists to directly see each atom in two-dimensional materials like graphene, and also to target single atoms with the beam. Each electron has a tiny chance of scattering back from a nucleus, giving it a kick in the opposite direction.
Generating Electrical Power From Waste Heat
Generating electrical power from waste heat New Sandia solid-state silicon device may one day power space missions Directly converting electrical power to heat is easy. It regularly happens in your toaster, that is, if you make toast regularly. The opposite,...
Nanomaterial Superconductivity Lost? Physicists Uncover Why
Scientists discovered the phenomenon 30 years ago, but the mechanism for superconductivity remains an enigma because the majority of materials are too complex to understand QPT physics in details. A good strategy would be first to look at less complicated model systems.
Realtime Flexible Sensor Tests and Cures Inflammation
Realtime Flexible Sensor for Healing HKU Engineering and Medicine collaborate and develop a real-time flexible sensor that makes inflammation testing and curing 30 times faster Different from the inorganic counterparts like silicon, organic semiconductors can operate...
Quantum Transistor for Semiconductor Applications Enables Photon Computing
Quantum computers will need analogous hardware to manipulate quantum information. But the design constraints for this new technology are stringent, and today’s most advanced processors can’t be repurposed as quantum devices. That’s because quantum information carriers, dubbed qubits, have to follow different rules laid out by quantum physics.
Osteoarthritis Pain Eased by Graphene Foam Suggested by Research
Boise State researchers believe graphene foam-enhanced cartilage could one day be used to treat the joint pain caused by osteoarthritis as well as prevent the need for joint replacement. Osteoarthritis is incurable and affects half the U.S. population over the age of 65.
Neural Network Recognizes Molecular Handwriting
Researchers at Caltech have developed an artificial neural network made out of DNA that can solve a classic machine learning problem: correctly identifying handwritten numbers. The work is a significant step in demonstrating the capacity to program artificial intelligence into synthetic biomolecular circuits.
Nanoscale Kirigami Technique Could Enable Microchip-Based 3-D Optical Devices
Nanoscale Kirigami has taken off as a field of research in the last few years; the approach is based on the ancient arts of origami (making 3-D shapes by folding paper) and kirigami (which allows cutting as well as folding) but applied to flat materials at the nanoscale, measured in billionths of a meter.
Indium Oxide Nanocrystals Comprise New UV Narrow-Band Photodetector
Semiconductor quantum dots (nanocrystals just a few nanometers in size) have attracted researchers’ attention due to the size dependent effects that determine their novel electrical and optical properties. By changing the size of such objects, it is possible to adjust the wavelength of the emission they absorb, thus implementing selective photodetectors, including those for UV radiation.
