Since the earliest microscopes, scientists have been on a quest to build instruments with finer and finer resolution to image a cell's proteins - the tiny machines that keep cells, and us, running.
Researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the School of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Pennsylvania have identified ionizable lipid nanoparticles that could be used to deliver mRNA as part of fetal therapy.
STREM Chemicals, Inc. has licensed a technology based on recent developments in the field of Ni(0) (pre)catalysts from the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung respectively the associated Studiengesellschaft Kohle mbH. The new Ni(0)-olefin pre-catalyst provides a simple, scalable and modular Ni(0) source which is stable to air and room temperature and retains the reactivity demonstrated by Ni(0) catalysts currently used in organic chemistry and industrially relevant transformations.
Researchers from CalTech have developed a standalone low-cost COVID-19 test that can deliver results in 10 minutes, at home, even for people showing no symptoms.

Guihua Yu, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Materials Science and Mechanical Engineering in the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin, is the recipient of the 2021 Edith and Peter O'Donnell Award in Engineering from TAMEST (The Academy of Medicine, Engineering and Science of Texas).
The SARS-CoV-2 virus that is causing the COVID-19 pandemic is just one of many different viruses in the coronavirus family. Many of these are circulating in populations of animals like bats and have the potential to "jump" into the human population, just as SARS-CoV-2 did.
The Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) reports that a team of researchers under Dr Kyoung-Whan Kim from the Center for Spintronics has come up with a new principle for spin memory devices—regarded as the next-generation memory devices.
Scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed insulin nanoparticles that may one day become the basis for an oral medicine, and an alternative to insulin injections for diabetic patients.
Scientists at Japan's Nagoya University and the National Institute for Materials Science have found that a simple one-drop approach is cheaper and faster for tiling functional nanosheets together in a single layer. If the process, described in the journal ACS Nano, can be scaled up, it could advance development of next-generation oxide electronics.
Rice University scientists have extended their technique to produce graphene in a flash to tailor the properties of other 2D materials.
Delivery of genetic molecules such as mRNA into cells is vital with important applications such as vaccine development. Various agents have been developed for mRNA delivery. However, conventional mRNA nanocarriers mainly focus on their physical interaction with mRNA molecules, or protection / delivery of mRNA, such as adjusting physical properties of nanocarriers to control binding with mRNA or cellular uptake.
A research team, headed by scientists from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, has identified a revolutionary one-step process for producing materials with exceptional properties, known as metamaterials.
The COVID-19 pandemic has been increasing the fears of new pathogens like drug-resistant bacteria or new viruses. A Korean research group has recently gained attention for designing a new technology to eliminate antibiotic-resistant bacteria by regulating the surface texture of nanomaterials.
