Wearing a smartwatch no longer makes one look cool. This trend has long gone and the wearable biotech sector has recently publicized its ravenous hunger for futuristic products. Vital sign monitoring stickers, pain relief goggles that track brain waves, and even mind-reading glasses.
According to presumptions, developing a super-strong material from nano-scale building blocks requires the highest quality building blocks to start with. However, that is wrong—at least when researchers work with “flakes” of graphene oxide (GO).
Most consumers may not be aware of the presence of nanoparticles, but these tiny molecules play an important role in modern life.
According to a new study, small silica bottles filled with a unique temperature-sensitive material and medicine may be used for drug delivery to destroy malignant cells only in specific parts of the body.
Metastasis, in which cancer cells break free from the primary tumor and form tumors at other sites, worsens the prognosis for many cancer patients.
The DrySyn Spiral Evaporator from Asynt is enabling the Cresswell Group within the Department of Chemistry at the University of Bath (UK) to improve and streamline many aspects of their synthetic organic methods development.
A new study has confirmed that thin and flexible fibers composed of carbon nanotubes can bridge damaged heart tissues and provide the electrical signals required to keep those hearts beating.
SP Scientific (Warminster, PA, USA) announces the signing of a new partnership agreement with Lab-i-DOSiTECNO Pharma Technologies (Barcelona, Spain) enabling both companies to offer complete aseptic vial and syringe fill-finish lines lines for Injectable, Ophthalmic & Oral Products in Liquid and Powder Form.
Nanowires are meeting the requirements of the market for novel, smaller, flexible electronic devices by powering electronic circuits on the molecular scale; however, the arrangement of nanowires into functional materials is still a challenge.
Although hexagonal-boron nitride (h-BN) is known to be tough, researchers at Rice University are making this material easier to get along with.
Researchers at a Rice University lab are working towards making products look sharp, even at the nanoscale. The lab’s newest creation is spot on.
To better understand advanced materials such as graphene nanostructures and enhance them for devices in opto-, nano-, and quantum-technology, it is important to comprehend how phonons—the vibration of atoms in solids—impact the materials’ properties.
At the human level, regulating temperature is a simple concept. Turtles expose themselves to the sun to keep warm. In order to cool a pie fresh from the oven, it is placed on a countertop at room temperature.
Targeted drug-delivery systems are a promising candidate for the effective treatment of cancer by leaving the healthy surrounding tissues unaffected. However, they can work only when the drug hits its target.
